Death from a Thousand Paper Cuts
A single paper cut may sting and make a bloody mess of your document, but it's not going to kill you. What about a thousand of them? Somebody grab a tourniquet! Death from a thousand paper cuts is an old public relations term meaning one bad incident may blow over, but many will kill a career. Ask Paris Hilton. Who? Exactly.

Call 911.
