New Bubble Wrap Will No Longer Pop When You Squeeze It

------------

1. Bummer!

Years ago, when I worked in a store, my coworker and I had contests to see who could pop the most when things were slow.

2. My wife got a package by UPS the other day

She had been waiting for it for a few days, so when it came I called her at work to let her know it had arrived.

me: "Your books are here"

her: "Great!"

me: "I think you'll have to send them back though."

her: "Did they send the wrong ones?"

me: "No, they are the right ones."

her: "?"

me: "The bubble wrap won't pop."

3. I also ordered some books a few months ago and they were beautifully wrapped

Completely sealed in with bubble wrap. I guess I should make a point of saving it. Popping those bubbles can be positively addictive. I'm wondering if there'll be a black market for it...

6. I have several boxes full

out in my shed. Popped only a little bit. Guess I can start thinking of that as part of my retirement savings. Should be worth a mint after a few years, no?
