A few weeks back I bought a generic pair of scissors from a downtown Duane Reade. Of the many ways in which a pair of scissors could be packaged, these in particular were attached to a cardboard backing with a metal washer fastening a loop around one of the handles. Thus after tearing off the backing, the loop was still firmly attached like so:
Now if only I had some utensil, device, or mechanism which could sever this superfluous and intrusive connection.
Oh wait....
Use a knife.
Though funny none the less
:-)
LOL
That's why pirkei avot tells that on the first Friday, bein hashmashot, Hashem created the first scissors from which the tags from all other scissors were cut.
