\"clothespin<\/a><\/p>\n

The versatile spring-loaded clothespin doesn’t get enough media attention. To rectify the situation, today’s top ten list pays tribute to the tiny wooden wonder.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Let’s start with the obvious answer: hang clothes on an outdoor line. And the benefits of the obvious use: money saved on the electric bill, fresh smelling sheets, and a healthy tan.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0 In a pinch (no pun intended) clothespins and a wire hanger make excellent skirt and trouser hangers.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0 Readers of Little Women<\/em> know that clothespins can be used to reshape one’s nose. However the process tends to be painful. Don’t ask how I know this.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0 Two or three clothespins can be used to fasten shut a half-eaten bag of chips.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0 They double as clamps on small objects being glued together.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0 Clothespins are an essential component of refrigerator magnet clip projects made by kids at school, Scouts, Sunday school, and the like.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 Ditto for Christmas tree ornaments.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 They are effective pinching weapons in sibling wars Don’t ask how I know this, either.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 Barbie and Ken place their trust in clothespins that fasten them to a zipline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 Four clothespins in the hands of the man of steel morph into a handy-dandy cell phone stand when using the speaker phone feature. It really, really works!<\/p>\n
