She looks like she KNOWS you’re thinking of taking one single punchcard from the middle of the pile, thus rendering the whole thing useless.

And she’s not having your shit.

Yes, she certainly has the look of someone who knows what a huge amount of work these piles of cards represent. There would have been no turbulent kids running around these.

  Look at those forearms. Absolutely she knows how much work this is. Also absolutely she numbered them all in pencil.

She lives in the Mary Poppins house and has to stabilize her stack of cards like this every time the neighbour fires the canon.

one can number them with a pen, and then find the missing one or guess what was there

    Yes, it’s called human brain. If it makes sense that a missing punch card would contain jump to address from some register, then make another one such.
    
    I’m joking.

All your need to do is drop in one card randomly with all the holes punched out to screw up those things… there was a name for doing that to be a dick but I forgot and am drunk right now so I don’t feel like looking it up.
