Hi!

I have a office carpet that lives on a diet of small hardware. Drop
anything onto the carpet, and it will immediately be injested by the
carpet, never to be seen again. The carpet is very much a picky eater
as it will ocassionally regurgitate a few of the larger items. I find
it necessary to regularly feed the carpet a ration of screws and
washers in the hope that it will be satiated and not devour anything
important.

May you never have to put a vacuum cleaner across it. The shrapnel may be
terrific.

:-D
