I never thought that the staple actually pierced the lock. I can see why people might be so certain it was a lie if that's what they thought. I thought the staple went into the keyhole and got stuck.

I had my handy staple gun in my hip pocket, and I whipped it out and pretended to be Annie Oakley and shot at the ax murderer's box.

Well, damned if I didn't score a direct bull's eye! The staple went right into the key hole of his box. Now, I am not a good shot and the odds of this happening must have been a zillion to one.

I stood there for a moment dazzled by my excellent shooting skills until I realized its probably a Federal crime to tamper with someone's post office box. So I went over and tried to pry the staple out. It was in there good! I tugged at it and it finally snapped off with part of the staple still in the key hole.

The ax murderer is not going to be able to open his box on Monday, and I will be the prime suspect. This wouldn't bother me but for the fact that the post office might have one of those closed circuit cameras like ATM's do and what if my Calamity Jane stunt got caught on video?
isn;t it much more likely that she was trying to pick the lock?

I agree with the point it makes- it's unlikely. But I agreed with that already.

Hey, whaddaya know. I was right. She said the staple went into the keyhole. Its piercing power is irrelevant.

As to whether it's true, or if there's another story that might be more likely if you take some of her story at face value but not all of it, who knows? Not us.

for it to get into the keyhole well enough to jam, the piercing power would be relevant. i can;t believe we're actually debating this. you're very retarded for a genius.

No, it just has to go in in such a way that it's not easily grabbed. An attempt to pry it out could then actually jam it.

this actually is the crux of the matter to me. it wasn;t that she was a big fat liar, or a drama queen or professional victim. what always made me nuts was the way you suckers fell for her shit time after time. it makes me a little batty.

He can not speak of it with me! We'll just store it deep inside under pressure and heat until this big pile of shit is a glittering diamond. Yeah a lovely diamond.
