"One Red Paperclip" Guy Lands In Hospital After Bizarre Stapling Mishap
Kipling, Saskatchewan--Kyle MacDonald, the blogger who traded a single red paperclip for a two-story Canadian farmhouse, was rushed to the hospital yesterday after contracting a severe case of tetanus from a rusty staple.
While completing the paperwork to secure the title deed to his property, MacDonald realized that he had traded away his last paperclip over a year ago when he began his blogging odyssey. Instead, he reached for an old stapler, and ended up accidentally inserting the staple in the fleshy part between his thumb and forefinger.
Ironically, he had traded up for the stapler a few months back, but the staples had apparently rusted in the damp Canadian climate. MacDonald’s girlfriend, Dominique Dupuis, said that the blogger was resting comfortably at the moment, and was looking forward to moving into his new home just as soon as his fever breaks and his jaw unclenches.
"If he had just held on to that damn paperclip, he would not be in this mess," said Dupuis. "Of course, then we wouldn’t have the house either now, I guess. Funny how life is sometimes."
