Acco Rules the World

Have you ever thought about the office products you buy for your home or your company? Have you thought of where they all come from? Go into any Staples, or Office Depot or Office Max and 90% of what you see is from ACCO! Who are they? We all know Swingline staplers. We all use Quartet whiteboards at our jobs or atleast have them hanging up in the conference room. We all use the Wilson Jones folders and GBC paper Shredders or lamination kits etc. See my point? It all comes back to ACCO! Where are the competing products? I think it is a conspiracy by ACCO to eventually rule the world. They have spies and highly skilled ninjas eliminate the competition to make way for a new ACCO Office World Order. Even the expo dry erase marker which we have all come to love with their fruity smelling ink is in danger. Quartet, the only maker of the dry erase whiteboards in the world after a competing company had a mysterious fire in a production facility which the fledgling company could not recover from. Well now Quartet is flooding the market with a new dry erase marker called EnduraGlide (yeah I know what your thinking...) It lasts twice as long as the expo markers and even has a window in the barrel so you can see when you are low on ink!!! A partner in ACCO's qwest for world domination is this Sampletize. They posted a form so people could get a free sample four pack of these EnduraGlide dry erase markers. God only knows how many of these markers were given out, but Expo has to be worried at this point. Who's next?
