Pen Funny!

I remember reading a post by the "legendary" late Frank Dubiel: "Never shake a pen." I'm glad I've kept that in mind. Also, using black ink on Christmas cards?? How boring!

[Ergative]

How can someone who presumably knows enough about fountain pens to use one as a first choice for christmas cards not know

 

1. That if it's not writing, sometimes a quick shake will get the ink flowing again (but only in lousy pens). No, hubby must explain one of the most basic aspects of pen use!

2. That you can refill the dang thing!

 

I feel like this is only funny for people who see fountain pens as useless relics of the past and want to mock old people who still use them, rather than for anyone who knows anything about fountain pens.

looks fine to me

[fly_us]

I used to point a pen toward me then pull the lever, well, you get the picture.

 

So this is perfectly normal to me

Ha, made me laugh.

Today's comic

 

 

I was once on site as a computer consultant.

One of my bugbears, when mice had spheres inside, was when the rollers were so dirty using the mouse was a bumpy experience. I would clean out the inside of the mouse, especially the rollers.

At this site, the mouse was so dirty I looked at the mouse pad, and it, too, was really dirty. I picked it up and started slapping the mouse pad to get the worst of the crud off.

Everybody in the office turned to look at me.

I continued slapping the mouse pad, saying "Bad mouse pad, naughty mouse pad!!".

 

I was never invited back. Apparently I was a serial mouse pad abuser...

Am getting those daggers right now, as in, "close that dang forum or else..."

I liked some of the old mice with a ball....I could get some to go into an inverse mode and just flip it over and use it as a trackball .... so much easier for an old gamer.

Started writing my Christmas cards and have so far created two pools of ink on the cards. Suppose I should switch pens.

Thanks, Pakman !

 

My wife doesn't think it is so funny. Guess why ! Of course, I love it.

Nobody I know will have this problem with me .

I never let anybody use my fountain pen

[Arkanabar]

I'm much more likely to dunk a non-writing pen, or drop it from a height of 25mm onto a writing pad.
