The life of a US patent clerk must be so boring.  The greatest excitement
they probably get is when they run out of ink for their "approved"
rubber stamp.  The USPO could probably outsource their approval process
to a third-world sweat shop.

If patent clerks were forced concentrate on their work, there would be
no atomic bomb.
