From my memory-- The paperclip was created in a bar located in Connecticut, a guy was sitting at the bar 'fiddling' with a short piece of wire, he folded a dollar bill or two in it and left it as a tip, the guy sitting next to him was an amateur inventor, he asked the bartender to give him the wire, and the rest is history.. This is the story I remember about the paperclip.

Uh, fish girl ... Where might I find a money tree? I've heard of them. I believe some of my neighbors have one or two.
I just grow oranges ... unfortunately they're not edible so I really do need a money tree.
Since there has been very little paper clip mining in recent years, the fine people of Nevada have opened a paper clip museum. People make designs out of paper clips! The make towers, moving bicycles, acrobats ... other stuff. I've heard this from a guy who returned from Las Vegas.
Be sure and hoard your metal paper clips. If you have a lot, you might want to sell them on E-Bay. Some people hoard gold. Me? I hoard PAPER CLIPS.
