Well, now there's a whole new, even more insulting layer of meaning to calling somebody a "pencil-dick".

It also gives exciting new meaning to the phrase "get the lead out".

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And to think, until today, I honestly thought there were some things you wouldn't ever need to post a warning about.

And you just know someone will file a class action suit that will be settled by having that warning message printed on every package of pencils manufactured for here on.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've heard of "putting the lead in your pencil," but I never thought it was meant literally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We get to leave the office at 3 today because it's a long weekend.

I was leaving at 3:15 to make my biofeedback appointment. This mix of feeling cheated plus legitimacy is a weird sensation.

I wonder how the other person involved with the pencil-dick guy felt about the whole thing.

It's only right and proper that every pencil (and in a few years, every pen too) have the words DO NOT INSERT INTO PENIS printed on them.

We just didn't know it until now.

At least a pen doesn't carry the risk of splinters. More parts, though.

Might have been a mechanical pencil. However, then there's no got wood joke.

I find myself wondering if he, perhaps, hollowed out the pencil so he could ejaculate, or if that hadn't crossed his mind between thinking "crayon-en-pénis" was a good idea and actually carrying out the doltish deed.

Hmm. "Clicking your Bic" takes on new possibilities if it's a pen.
