Paint or stencil on the front of your lab notebook, patent diary, calender, ledger, or other bound book you happen to be recording your life in this:
"Stop! Please don't throw out. please please
It contains my life's work. Insights and ideas that will make this world as better place. At least
look inside (I used to use a dollar as a book mark)"
And on the first page inside stamp " Just Kidding!"
If the book ever really starts to contain something significant, just rip out that first page.

Idea spawns from the following situation:
I am cleaning out a house of of an 89 year old gentleman who did not die, but moved on to Texas. It is ankle deep in paper, junk mail, receipts and religious tracts. Most of the paper is headed to the dump, but it would be nice to have a clue if anything is worth saving.

Wow [norm] the x isn't even anywhere near the j. |

You got one of them funky keyboards?... |

I drove through Texas once, it was snowing horizontally (high winds that day). Don't know much more about Texas. Think there must be an Instrument company there. |

[8th of 7], except for Austin, you are correct. Austin is
quite close to heaven, actually. They are exempt from
"almost as bad as death" jokes. |

It's the Espanol for the english word Texas. Be advised that most of what is now the south western Estados Unidos was until recently northern Mexico. |
