The first newspaper I worked at had four ticker tape machines. The thing to do was take the chads and fill up the paste-up girls' purses with them. Ten years later, they'd still be finding those little paper dots.
I forget, which team was able to win a World Series without rioting in celebration? Philly or NY? I hope all that telephone poll grease didn't go to waste.

IIRC, when the Royals won in 1985, The confetti ran out very quickly and the KC office workers, unaccustomed to ticker-tape parades, dumped reams of papers onto the parade. It was several feet deep in places. It caught fire and Willie WIlson and Dane Iorg were lost.

People in my building were throwing out take out menus, boxes of business cards and ripping out phone book pages.
It looked like most offices blew their loads about 20 minutes before the parade started.

"I love it!" said sanitman John Freeman as he raked up confetti and toilet-paper rolls.

If you have Lifelock, don't count on it. I recall that their CEO's identity was stolen four times because of his commercials.

Only four? I heard the number was a good bit higher then that.
