Tiny Magnets

The curmudgeon recently purchased some very powerful, tiny magnets.  He was getting tired of things slipping down the fridge door because of old-time magnets.


These little marvels use rare earth elements - a great American tradition of mining whatever they can take at will, like oil.


You have to tug the pencil off the fridge to put a new item on the shopping list.  But, it leaps back into position.


I made the mistake, when opening the package, of permitting them to mate - they immediately created a long roll of really, really powerful tiny magnets sort of glued together.


This required immediate action - put them in a drawer and dwell on simpler, less rare earth pleasantries.  I'm not dumb.
