My question is kind of confusing... But Ill try my best to word it carefully.... You know staples (not stapler) when they are 'stapled' into the paper, the top part (which wasn't bent) - the part of the staple that is showing (when the paper isn't upside down), is sometimes shorter and the part of the staple that is bent (you see it when the paper is upside down) is longer... I'm dying to know how you get that!!!! The top part of the staple (standard size) is 1.1 cm and it drives me crazy looking at it for some strange reason... But the "smaller" staple's top part is only 0.8 cm, it doesn't seem like alot but the "bigger" staple looks so much weirder... picture of "smaller" looking top part of the staple but with a longer bottom part (that is bent) http://www.greenhousedesign.net/WebData/Product/50b7a14f-ce94-492d-8e21-151e7d40c68a/Images/Mini_staple-web.jpg try ur best to answer!!! Any answer will be helpful because i kno the question is hard to understnad! thx! my question is: how do you get the "smaller" looking staple ive been wanting to kno for like years!!!
