Reminds me of this rug (sold by IKEA), which looks like a giant receipt of the very same rug. 162.158.111.187 23:09, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Getting all information on that receipt correct would be quite challenge even with pre-ordering ... -- Hkmaly (talk) 23:13, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

The tattoo subtext makes me think it's referring to the 2001 film 'Memento', a film noir in which the main character tries to solve a mystery while suffering from amnesia so he carries a bundle of clippings from motel-room to motel-room and has the most important clues tattooed onto his body.

I'm disappointed that the bulletin board itself only counts as one of the generic office supplies. --162.158.34.222 10:39, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

A quick search provided a real world example of the title text "A tatoo if a tatoo parlour receipt". The exercise of string and tacks is left for readers of Pinerest Iggynelix (talk) 15:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

This example should be added to the Explanation!

Added it and other things here above to the explanation. Of course he was from Norway... (Said the Dane, next door neighbor to Norway, with almost the same written language :-). --Kynde (talk) 23:08, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

ROTFL because it reminds me of some program managers at a former company who thought they could organize tasks on a large project by putting them up on a board and sequence-ordering them with colored twine. Made for a nice piece of modern art and not much more. Cellocgw (talk) 15:06, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
