Office Shit: Things I’ve Jammed the Shredder With

Cheese:  The secret to great nachos is shredding the cheese because it heats more evenly and melts better.  The secret to shredding cheese is that I fucking hate shredding cheese.

A Bolo Tie:  These shredders are always warning us to watch out for our ties.  But gentlemen, don’t fret.  The metal-tipped ends of a bolo tie will jam up a shredder no problem.  Safe, classy: the Western Tie.

Shredded Beef:  I figured it was already shredded and that it would pass through virtually unchanged.  Testing this theory was quite costly.

Breathsavers:  After the shredded beef incident, I figured the shredder could use some freshening.  Because the combo of rancid beef strings heated by a plastic motor, whoa.

A Finger:  Not mine, don’t worry.  I found a separate one.  It’s not really any of your business where it came from.  The important thing to know is that the finger ain’t coming back.  In fact, if you had a decent shredder, added in with a history of shredding meats, you could probably flatten a corpse and shred it completely.
