Well now, you might try this the next time you need to tear a
perforation. Fold the perforation both ways before tearing.
I remember once a student came to a Professor at Delaware Valley College
once and said his password to log onto the computer didn't work.
The Professor asked him if a student or professor had given him the
password. The student said a professor had given him the password but
didn't remember which professor. The Professor asked the student if he
had the paper the login information was written and the student had the
paper and gave it to the professor. The Professor told the student that
a student assistant gave him that paper because the perforations were
ragged. The professor told the class that all Professors at Delaware
Valley College always fold their perforations both ways so the
perforations tear easily and cleanly. I use that technique even today
when I open food packages and it works as advertised for me.
