Pencils vs. pens

I used a pencil today. It’s the first time in quite a while that I’ve used a pencil extensively, and I’ll tell ya what, it was a pretty satisfying experience. Seems that all corporate chodes like myself are partial to pens, but there’s something both innocent and effective about a pencil. Perhaps I’ll partake more often.

    Was it a mechanical pencil or a traditional wooden pencil?

    If it’s a wooden pencil, you are very much welcome to use the automatic pencil sharpener on the 14th floor. Even though you work on the 13th floor, it would be nice for you to come up to 14 to use the pencil sharpener, because it is a very special pencil sharpener. It’s so special that it has its own club: The 14th floor pencil sharpening club. Founded in January 2003. And it’s own Yahoo group. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/14th-floor-pencil-sharpening-club/
    Come join. It’s quite exclusive!

    Maybe I will. The sharpener on my floor is crap.

    If possible, try to use a 2B or 3B pencil, rather than an HB or 2H, especially if you are filling in the answers on a newspaper crossword, as the latter pencils are more likely to tear holes in the paper if you press too hard.

    Maybe, however, I am just reading the wrong kind of newspaper, printed on cheap paper. Perhaps that explains why the ink keeps coming off on my hands.

    Pens are very interesting they come in all different shapes and sizes. They also come in different colors. Everyone i know collects pens.Pens are better than pencils no one can argue with that. You dont have to sharpen pens. Also pens come with lids, now that is cool. I bet people dont collect run out ink cartridges i do. Mostly i just keep the whole pen. I have loads of pens i have collected. It is like a hobbie. Well all i can say is that pens are cool.

    YOU SHOULD NOT DISS THE INVENTION OF THE PEN.

    PENS ROCK!!
