And how come wives who are all for gender equality, never seem to touch a piece of wood? Mother Godess not up to getting her hands dirty on one of her fallen creations I suppose.

I know our son nicks pens a lot then takes them apart. Are your children, perhaps, to blame?

I bet if we did find the place the pens went, I'd not have so many unpaired socks in my drawer anymore :lol:

I have a pen fetish and can only stand one kind of pen. Even if I have 10 other kinds of pens at my fingertips I refuse to write until I have the right kind of pen. This is at home and at work. I've been addicted to these pens for 15 years and everywhere I work I force all of my office mates to use the same kind of pens so that no matter what desk is nearest I can have easy access to a decent pen.

Respect my pen authoritah! :frown:

I don't mind the twisties, but why are they always twisted the wrong way when you first attempt to take them off?

It has to be Micro 0.5. If you bring me something fatter I will send you back to the store. :frown:

I should work for uni-ball. I've converted millions over to their pens. :wub:

Sorry, but every Uni-Ball I've ever tried felt "scratchy" when I tried to write, so I refuse to use them. Hubby seems to like them, though. I like the Pilot Precise V5 - besides, they come in colours! :)
