I know of what you speak. We buy a lot of our office supleips from Staples and one day, while a volunteer was working in the library, she asked me if I had any staples. I reached into my drawer, grabbed a box that said Staples, and handed them to her. She came back a second later and said, these are paper clips. It must be some kind of name association thing, cause let's face it, a paper clip box looks nothing like a box of staples. And if you actually look at it, there's even a picture of paper clips on the box!
Jerry: Did you ever notice a lot of butlers are named Jeeves? I think when you name a baby Jeeves; you've pretty much mapped out his future. Not much chance ...
