The Staple Madness

by submission

Image Text: Staple guns: because duct tape can't make that 'kaCHUNK' noise.

This explanation is written by Harm. Harm is a reader of xkcd and explainxkcd. Harm writes explanations. Harm wrote that sentence mentioning that he writes explanations. Harm didn't write the previous sentence.

This comic is a pure slapstick adventure as Beret finds a staple gun and uses it on everything in sight (including trying to install Debian software onto a laptop). When Megan comes home and asks if he's been using her gun, he denies it. Someone possibly stapled to the ceiling says that he has.

In the source of the comic, the transcript offers an alternate interpretation of the final panal.

God: [[outside of scene, as voice from above]] YES!

The image text makes a reference to duct tape being used for anything and everything, and implies that staple guns can be used as a funner substitute.
