What box?

Dear List

Can someone explain the origins of the phrase "thinking outside the box"?  I
keep seeing it, and I can guess what it means, but how did it come about?
What sort of thinking goes on inside the box, and is this a communal box, or
do we each have one?

I really need to know this before I go to bed or I shall lay awake,
pondering...

Yours daftly,

F Ford Anglia (Mr)
