What do you call a paperclip that's great at negotiating?
A rule-bender.

Paperclips are bendable and flexible — just like someone who "bends the rules" during negotiations! The modern paperclip design we use today was patented in 1899 by William Middlebrook, though similar wire fasteners existed earlier. During World War II, Norwegians wore paperclips on their lapels as a silent symbol of resistance and unity against Nazi occupation.
