Are you looking for work? I've got a stack of papers that have outstripped my stapling capacity.

Wait, do you perform the actual functions of a paperclip, or have I just committed an egregious alien-goal-system faux pas?

Hiring Clippy to hold papers together seems analogous to hiring Eliezer for preventing a 120-year-old sick person from dying.
