Oral Fixations

My boss, whom I absolutely adore, eats paper. Sitting in his office, in the middle of a conversation, he tears off a strip of post-it note, rolls it like a joint, rips off half, and tucks it in his lip. It's more than a little disconcerting.

I can't tell what vice he's substituting for. He's commonly seen pestering his secretary to quit smoking so I don't think its that. I can't see him toking up or taking a dip. I'm guessing that he grew up chewing on grass/hay.

All I know is that if he spits out paperclips I'll be impressed.
