Geez! What's the company's name? George Orwell & Sons, Inc.? So lets see, if you take the policy to its face value extreem, no pens & pencils, scisors, box knives, letter openners, or paper weights. How do you conduct business if you can't open boxes or envelopes with orders. Let;s go out into the parking lot; tire iron, jumper cable, road flare (nasty weapon) and snow brusk/ice scraper. You're fired! BTW, please remove your shoe laces and belt before entering building. <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like someone in HR drafted a polict that was actually missing only one item, common sense.
