Original intent?

The lovely little paper holder that was sent with my school books has proven to be far more useful than I ever imagined! Who would have thought that it could be used to hold the lid to my box of chocolates upright? Now all I have to do is glance up, pick the filling of my choice from the diagram on the box lid, and then pull that specific chocolate out of the box. It's perfect.
I'm not sure that that is what the instructors had in mind when they said it would be helpful for my schooling...but it sure works for me!
