Cardboard… Yes!

We’re lucky to have cardboard. Think of where we would be without it.

Just tonight, I have folded up the bottom of a Kleenex box and jammed it in between the window frame and the jamb. This has stopped the window from rattling back and forth loosely, causing irritating knocking sounds that would for sure have interrupted sleeping.

I am thinking about what the cave people must have gone through, not having any cardboard. How would they stop their heavy wooden window frames from banging? Not to mention, the fact that they would have had trouble making their boats without it.

Shipping things must have really been impossible for cave people. Without cardboard, most modern shipping companies will charge extra for their overnight shipping. And what would they store old photos and snapshots in without cardboard shoe boxes?

I guess it must have been sheer luck that there are still humans in 2003. Discovering cardboard so late, we have surely been woefully unprepared for the new millenium.
