M: Did you hear this story in the news about this guy that a paper clip for a house?
W: No.
M: It sounds a bit but apparently what happened was he started... he was at his desk looking for a job or about jobs.
W: Yeah.
M:... and, um, he saw a paper clip on his desk, and he thought, I wonder what I can do with this paper clip-whether I can it for something.
W: Oh.
M: Anyway, so he got onto the internet and he made this website - I think it's called the-red-paper-clip .
W: Right.
M: And he put this, this on the internet, photographs it, puts it on, and sees if anyone wants to something with him.
W: And did, did anything happen?
M: Yeah, so first of all, I don't remember all the details but as I two Vancouver women, um, took up the first challenge and they swapped the paper clip with, I think it was a pen shaped like a fish they had ...
W: Random.
M: Yeah - they had found on a camping trip, yeah random. But he meets up with all these people he doesn't just the things. And so then from that, I believe, this guy in Seattle wanted the pen and swapped it for a . And the door knob was swapped for something to do with camping,
W: Oh, so he kept up each time.
M: Yeah, he kept trading, trading up so, and then that was swapped for a beer I think. Apparently what happened was all these people were... the same sort of thought patterns as him and they wanted to sort of up and it was about a social event as well.
W: Ah.
M: Anyway, the next thing he got was a snow globe and, according to the report, it said a film director wanted it and said he'd it for a part in his film. And then this town decided they had this house in this town, and that they would swap the house for a in this film.
W: No! So he went all the way from the red paper clip to getting a house.
M: ... a house. And my impression was that he, he was just at the beginning but he, he ended up having this - I'm not sure how good the house was but, well, yeah.
W: Well, better than a paper clip.
M: I know basically that's what .
W: Wow!
