I worked at a company in Ohio for 18 years. The guy who owned the company was named Hank and there were about 300 employees. Hank was about 15 years older than me... I was the QA Engineer and at that point had worked there about 15 years.

I was in Hank's office one day and he starts telling me this story about his wife wants him to buy her a red Swingline stapler because of some movie she saw.

I give him a synopsis of the entire movie and explain the significance of the "Milton's stapler".

Two weeks later Hank calls me and asks me to meet him in his office. He hands me a red Swingline stapler.. and says "thanks".

20 years later and I still have the stapler. Sometimes the little stuff means the most.... years down the road.

Good times.
