<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">office staple</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for desk that I've seen before include "Flat surface for doing paper work" , "Writing-table" , "Writing surface" , "Place for writing or serving the public" , "Writer's workbench" .)
