Jam

It can really bug the carp out of someone on discovering that the junk mail in the mailbox has jammed the paper shredder because the originating party, usually (but not necessarily limited to) some American religious institution or charity seeking donations, has included within the envelope a metal object (perhaps a medal or a saintly statuette, crudely manufactured in the village factories of Vietnam or Cambodia) that turns out to be tough enough to withstand the powerful Chinese-made grinding teeth of the shredder in mid-bite.


Now, is that some kind of geopolitical or globalistical metaphor, or what?
