I'm trying to file my huge pile of papers and they are all so crinkled that they are taking up too much space.

What is the best way to flatten all these out. In there a machine that does this or something. I know I could iron them or put books on them or something like that but I want something faster and more efficent.

Any ideas. No I am not going to drive over them with my car or do any other smartass responses I forsee..

Get vacuum bag things.. I think they're called space savers. They might flatten out the papers.. or crumble them up more.

edit: if that fails, just put them under your house.

stuff them in your toilet over night, then lay them on your bed to dry. it worked for me

Laser printer...it really works, I used to use one of those apple lasers to straighten out crushed/creased papers. It's basically ironing the page.

I was actually thinking of that. Now I'm going to give it a try. Here goes.

wear them as a diaper and sing Happy Birthday Mr. President to yourself while standing in front of a full length mirror naked except for the diaper and a baby bonnet.
