Rebellious Rulers

The Arash and Kelly 'Bend the Rules' Measuring Device is Deviant

This instigating office supply is a wonky ruler that encourages you to "bend the rules." Cleverly called the 'Bend the Rules' ruler, this piece by designers Arash and Kelly may not serve the intended purpose of rulers, but it sure can make you smile!

The 'Bend the Rules' ruler is actually made as a satirical piece that will help your uptight friends "bend the rules accurately." The irony and impeccable humor associated with this fun, yet non-functional, piece make for a great gift idea and overall hilarious little prank.
