Wait... Why did they have scissors before paper?
First attempt at beating rock. Failed miserably.
Combined with running to become the first extreme sport.
Cutting ribbons for grand openings.
We had lighters before we had matches. We had cans for 50 years before we had can openers. Sometimes things don't make sense.
Having cans before can openers makes sense though...
As does scissors before paper, since paper is just one of the many things you can cut with scissors
