- unknamed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+145Who cares about putting it in a wallet... this just got his name and phone number viewed by thousands of diggers. Talk about viral marketing.
Oh wait... diggers... personal trainer... nevermind. - Zorlak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+95Not bad! I personally prefer this one though; http://ohgizmo.com/2006/09/18/lock-pickin-business-card/
- fulldecent, on 10/12/2007, -4/+95two hands to hold it open, dial with your foot.
- darksheer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+94How are you going to read the number and dial the number at the same time?
- gaiden2k5, on 10/12/2007, -18/+79'Most clever'? not really,
Unique? yes.
Would anyone want it? probably...
Where would they put it? definitely not in their wallet, but most likely with the rest of their rubbers. - fulldecent, on 10/12/2007, -3/+63@septicmadman
You're yelling at a 7, we need you at about a 4. - Sal4, on 10/12/2007, -4/+62Not very practical, but still neat.
- Toast1185, on 10/12/2007, -2/+45I got a business card, 'cause I want to win some lunches. That's what my business card says: "Mitch Hedberg, potential lunch winner." Call me some time, maybe we'll have lunch... If I'm lucky!"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46My checkbook is made out of the same material.
- cmer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Doesn't beat Woz's card imo: http://www.tuaw.com/2006/10/03/the-wozs-business-card/
- deviouskoopa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21"JenovaRage says:
Does that mean you need a spotter to dial the number?"
Hahaha I lol'ed :)
EDIT: I guess this answers darksheer's question too... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18How about this business card for a headhunter?

Or this card for a second hand shop?

Also, check out this card with a piece of hair:

And, finally here is a big collection of cards on Flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dailypoetics/sets/72057594104389710/ - championchap, on 10/12/2007, -12/+28"It turns into a sponge when you put it in water"
- amphoterous, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21Hooray short term mem... what?
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -9/+22You're gonna have problems 'expanding' it and calling at the same time.
- pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13A designer's dream project and a printer's worst nightmare.
- bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12This is another - similar concept, but equally clever...
http://rgh.cc/displayimage.php?album=2&pos=-104 - masterkenobi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12The guy probably saw too many girls rip up his card when he gave it to them.
- powerpants, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10See, it's for a personal trainer and it's excercise just to read it. If you read the card a few times, you don't even need the guy's number.
- Deranged, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16darksheer:
Short term memory of probably just 4 digits? (assuming that the first three are used for the majority of phone numbers in the area as it in lots of places) - Pucciarelli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Paten's card to mine."
"Let's see Paul Allen's card...Look at that subtle off white coloring. A tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoIvd3zzu4Y - cam2009, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I always kind of liked Tobias'. He's the first analysisist/therapist you know.
http://www.thetalentshow.org/images/analrapist.jpg - deviouskoopa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Don't most, if not ALL, standard business cards fit in a wallet anyways? Unless your wallet is in fact more of a film canister or something of that sort...
- pitfallharry, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Neat, except I can't see that fitting too nicely in your wallet.
- chiuaua, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6What about http://blog.morphix.si/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/vizitka.jpg
- LucidDr34m3r, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8@fulldecent
Hm, yes maybe, but I am one handed. It would be a real pain for me to read this.
I know you cannot predict potential disabilities everyone might have, as that is just silly, but it seems like sticking to the traditional business card is a responsible business decision. I'm all for creativity, but that isn't even really a business "card". Professionally, it seems like a bad idea to have your information on a stretchy piece of rubber... - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6But wait! Because I need a personal trainer, I am not strong enough to stretch this card so that it's readable! It's self-defeating!
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Why are you dating business cards?
- 0siris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7here in the populated area of America (and i'm sure in plenty of other places) we don't have the same first 3 numbers the same in the same area. Hell, some areas have multiple area codes, we have so many numbers.
- sid0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You're both wrong.
"Most clever" is quite alright, and so is "cleverest." This is the case with quite a few two-syllable words.
Since the question mark is not part of the phrase within the quotes, it should be placed outside them. The period/full stop and comma should always be placed inside though. See: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_quote.html
While writing, the best thing to do with a full stop or comma is to place it directly under the quotation mark. Sadly, this usually can't be done on a computer.
On topic: What's so clever about this? - Brewin1100, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Meh, forget the business card... check out some of the other ads in the set. Some really good ones. The teeth in the ear canal one freaks me out!
- UO07, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4well someone woke up on the wrong side of his mom this morning..
- jd33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3stretch card....say number to yourself.....pick up phone.....dial number. C'mon you can't be that stupid.
- TheKarmaPolice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3not as good as tobias' card from arrested development.
"i'm a professional twice over! an analysist and therapist. the world's first analrapist!" - Bahimiron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark.
- hack314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was curious with all the blurring, so I just looked up the WOZ's home phone number on whitepages.com.. its actually listed. Kinda cool. Nice to see he's not some privacy freak.
- SenorPez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If by "On Back" you mean "right underneath the words 'Personal Trainer' on the front," you are correct.
- razrielle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3NO GRAMMAR FOR YOU!!
- fulldecent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@brewin1100
That's not an ear canal. - solarpowered, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Requires Yahoo ID to view. Sucka.
LAME. Bury. - cmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Cool! His phone number is a nice one, too, which doesn't surprise me. He's always been after great phone numbers (as mentioned in his inspiring book, iWoz)
- marky7186, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The funny thing is that it has 40lbs of resistance to stretch it out...
- omgcthulhu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Quite doubtful. But my mom told me such things don't worth my attention. http://chocozone.blogspot.com
- gaiden2k5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@unknamed
interesting thought, however, the contact number is wasn't stretched enough - no one can really read that unless you download it and zoom in, but that's more work then simply stretching a bit further... shame... - alceria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Given how difficult it will be to reveal the message on the card and attempt to write it down/dial the number, I don't get why the phone number is so disproportionately smaller than the guy's name and title. If you're gonna have to memorize the number to use it, the least they could do is print it large enough to be easily read.
- kizio, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Beautiful! Wow, these are cool! http://catszone.blogspot.com
- jcjdoss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here is a few I've collected.

But please ignore the index of my site. I am experimenting with blogging and am not having great luck in figuring out what I want to write about. NO ADS EITHER - auger282, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8Lock picking card for the win
- ThunderHawk6630, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Anyone do something similar with a rubber band during exams in high school?
- notastat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That is truly an original graphic design for a business card design. Good work, this should be a catalyst for more graphic design outside the box.
