Wiping your ass!
In fact, I hereby request two copies of the US Constitution. One to take a dump on, and one to wipe my ass with.

Making a dunce hat to put on the heads of people who actually believe that said list of arbitrary claims by mercantilists has any moral power!

Slim, I just wanted to mention? A contract between two sovereigns is the agreement itself. You know how there’s the handshake verbal contract? All the paper does is record and document agreement to the contracted terms. A similar documentation could be obtained by taking a video record of the event now.
In the spirit of the comic, I will say that paper is really good for printing out false and misleading advertisements. Some people seem to believe if it’s written on a piece of paper, it couldn’t possibly be a lie!
And making little paper umbrellas to put in your drink. Those are always fun. Unless some protected industry decided to use benzene or mercury in the production process.
