Free toy

Here is a simple toy you can make with some of the things readily available on your desk. By toy, I mean “something that might amuse you more than staring into space, for a moment or two.”
Take the curly cord on your telephone and make sure it’s really tangled. If you’re like me, and really lucky, this is the default position of your telephone cord. Stick your ballpoint pen into the spiral of the cord. Tap the pen and watch it jiggle in the air.
Try inserting other items on your desk. Use them like catapults.
