Tearing content out of a newspaper can be a difficult undertaking. It's usually not worth doing things that are difficult, but sometimes there is an article or something in a newspaper that one may think is worth the effort of tearing out. Those who make this common thought-error know that newsprint
tears follow unpredictable paths of least resistance that, while unpredictable, usually run right through the content that is being removed.
Different techniques for tearing involve removing a much larger section than is required, employing the use of various devices if handy, and creasing the paper; however, this doesn't always work and often results in smudged fingers and certain failure. The only practical alternative is the pre-perforation of newsprint on the press before newspapers are put into the once clean and undexterous hands of their readership.

What about news stories on the back of the page? or will perforation lines run through the articles,or will newspapers have to print on only one side of the page? |

i) Throw sheet of newspaper in air

iii) Excise relevant portion
iv) Bow to applauding onlookers |

We get nervous looks when we enter the room. Additional edged weapons don't make a whole lot of difference...... |

Maybe you just need to lower your standards a bit ? it's not as hard as you think .... |

I use a 12" rule to guide the tear. Hold it flat with one hand, and with the other pull the free portion of the newspaper up and slightly against the straight edge. |

Admittedly it's not as impressive as a flashy blade, but it's all in how you use it. |

Obviously, [Cap'n], the editors would take care that the articles on opposite sides are exactly the same length and position. |

Arguments would rage between those who keep clippings (henceforth referred to as tearings) loose, who prefer relevant and related content on the reverse, and those who stick them in a scrapbook who prefer unrelated dulness. |

so fold the paper like this /\/\/\/\/\/\ and put the articles on one side and the ads on the other. |
