Rock Paper Scissors

I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how a rock can beat scissors, But there is no fucking way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap around a rock and leave it immobile? Why the hell can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of collage rule notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they take notes in class? I'll tell you why, Because paper can't beat anybody. A rock would tear that shit up in 2 seconds. When I play rock paper scissors, I always choose rock. Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper, I can punch them in the face with my already made clenched fist and say, oh shit, I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, You asshole.
