scratch pad

In a shot that likely got left in Robert Altman's scratch pad for being too on-the-nose, the Nashville star wrote "Get me to God's country" over an image of his private jet.

In his pockets he had the stub of a pencil, a small scratch pad, quite damp, a few coins, the keys to his house, and his penknife.

They are available in various finishes with scratch pads and shelf cushions.

All of them still claim fealty to the Don, who now seems content to use hundreds of pages of government documents as scratch pads and toilet paper.

But they belong on your scratch pad, not in the final equation you’re presenting your employer.
