I love Becky's story about the spahetti. Back in the day when hospitals were getting into this HIPPA thing, I had a co-worker who came back from a smoke break all excited because she had finally found out why admin had put shredders on all the units and insisted all things paper be shredded. "It's to prevent back injuries...the paper weighs less when it's shredded!" As I live and breathe this is a true story. I spent a lot of time trying to convince her a pound of paper was a pound of paper was a pound of paper, shredding it just increased the volume and dispersed it into more bags. It was of no use, that's the story she was hearing and that's the way it was.
