I really wish the only piece of paper I had when I checked this wasn't a job application form I needed. Do you think if I explain this on the cover letter I'll get through?

There is no point in trying.

Suppose that you start with an standard A4 sheet of paper - about 300 mm long, and about 0.05 mm thick.
The first time you fold it in half, it becomes 150 mm long and 0.1 mm thick. The second fold takes it to 75 mm long and 0.2 mm thick. By the 8th fold (if you can get there), you have a blob of paper 1.25 mm long, but 12.8 mm thick. It's now thicker than it is long, and, if you're trying to bend it, seems to have the structural integrity of steel.

In a small bowl, combine 1/3 c. low-fat mayo, 2 tsp dill pickle relish, 2 tsp. ketchup, 2 tsp. sugar, and 2 tsp. yellow mustard. (The mustard is what make it definitely NOT Thousand Island dressing.) Cover and refrigerate for up to one month. Stir in 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp. finely chopped white onion right before serving.
