What would you do for office supplies?

Do you remember the old Klondike bar commercials in which "ordinary people" were asked to do silly things in exchange for a delicious Klondike bar?  (Please tell me you remember.)

Those commercials came up in a conversation I had yesterday, which got me to thinking about what I would want in exchange for silly or absurd behavior.  Other than money, office supplies are the only thing I'd consider in exchange.  (Yeah.  I'm a nerd.  Get over it.)  I know it's the writer in me.  After all, what else is so valuable to a writer than tools to write?

Sure, I'll hop on one foot.  But you gotta give me that beautiful blue ink roller ball pen in your pocket.  Didn't think I noticed?  I noticed.

What is the most extreme thing you would do in exchange for office supplies (or your personal equivalent of office supplies)?
