So Mr Bob ordered some business cards, so he can give them to people at an upcoming conference. I will do the the same. Mr Bob figured he would order more than he needed, so he asked for 50.
There is a minimum order of 1000. (and he can only get them at one place, as they are authorised to use the university logo)
So what is a good use for 970 extra business cards?
I promised Mr Bob you would have good ideas.

My company printed 2500 cards for me. 5 years ago.
I use them as luggage tags when I travel. I took 52 of them and drew my own deck of cards to play solitaire with at work.
I was thinking of taping a bunch together and making a dress out of them for some red carpet event.
The also work as kindling for the bbq.
They're really convenient when you meet a hottie at the bar. No searching for pencil and paper or writing on matchbook covers.
How long would it take for Mr. Bob to meet 970 hotties at the bar?
mmmmmmm bbq
I just checked. I only need to order 250 cards, so that's a little easier.
"How long would it take for Mr. Bob to meet 970 hotties at the bar?"
Probably quite a while. I think it's hard to pick up hotties when you are missing vital organs.
I had tons back when I was among the working. I would leave them in coworkers crevices like their rolodexes, calendars, desk drawers, keyboards, lunch bags, etc. But then again I am annoying like that. It was fun to sneak a few in their cards too.
Also it is good to go around different restaurants where they ask for business cards for drawings for free lunch.
Best way to get rid of cards? Go to a trade show.
You write one promise on the back of each of the 970 cards and give them to your spouse as redeemable coupons. For example:
Will wash 1 load laundry.
10-minute back rub.
Serve breakfast in bed.
Sex on demand.
Dinner out.
Shut up; I'm right this time.
Like that, only 970 times.
Swami is probably the winner, although I think Zombs' idea is really funny.
*is also very annoying*

I've never had business cards. :(
When DH had too many, I just tossed them in the recycling bin. How original is that?
Boy, for someone whose six weird things included indulgence in her toilet paper choices, Nookie sure seems eager to sentence Bob to a harsh future.
My suggestion is save them to give to Dominic next time you see him.
Put them all in one of the free lunch fish bowls. You're bound to win.
Actually, Dominic is still working on the leftover wedding invitations, but I bet he'd like those cards. He likes to use scissors right now.
Luggage tags, entries for free lunches, frisbees or table footballs...I used about 2000 a year when I had my last job.
