If you swung the pad holder at the correct angle, you could draw blood from a vicious dog's nose........ "Duh.. He's never done that before" Well, call him off, he's about to bite me again. ArrrgghhhAnd you used the same clipboard until eventually it wore down to half its original size and then one day you would push down on the pad holder and it would fall right off the board. Either that or you would break the board in half over some dogs head.
