h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

hasnt anyone considered the many applications of clothes pegs other than hanging out clothes? I personaly would recomend attatching them to your nipples,as the initial excrutiating pain is soon eclipsed by the pleasure of a gental caress after release.

I currently have a modified clothes peg attaching a secondary light on the back of my bicycle, it has had one of its legs removed to allow a nut to be bolted through it. This readily acheives a quick release light bracket that holds on to my belt, bag or the hood of my jacket.

Oh yes - I could probably fill a page with good ideas for clothes pegs. For musicians they are invaluable for holding the music to the stand. Indoors and out!

The spring-type clothes pegs (or clothes PINS as we say in the U.S.), make marvelous clip closures for partially consumed bags of salty snacks. Thay are inexpensive, are purchased in a large quantity, and hold better than the plastic "chip clips" that are manufactured and marketed specifically for the purpose of resealing your cheese puffs, pretzels, crisps, or corn chips.

Wow - fancy someone finding this!

You can also use clothes pegs for closing bags containing frozen, or sweet foods, or bird or fish food, etc etc.

I always have one in my handbag.
