That requires you to buy pens that have caps and risk going insane after losing said caps, though.

 

Dikiyoba doesn't have many problems with people walking off with borrowed writing implements. Pens and pencils do seem to diappear once they hit the mess on Dikiyoba's desk, however. Perhaps the pen thieves in Dikiyoba's area are simply bored with failing to return pens that are loaned to them and prefer to break into people's houses in order to steal them instead.

Tool heaven is a well documented occurrence, though. Writing utensil heaven is a new theory as of yet untested. In that regard it is not at all unlike sock heaven.

I don't know what kind of pens you have, but in our house, the caps go in the garbage the second we start using one. They seem to work fine afterwords regardless.

I was gonna post something yesterday, but then I didn't.

Why is it that all the poor singles must engage in combat? They already have Valentine's Day to make them feel bad about themselves; why compound insult with injury?

Oh, that's right. Because it is humorous.

I hope you get it back, but would suggest you don't get too optimistic. I lost count of how many pens and pencils I'm owed somewhere around 200.

Which may be why it wasn't returned. Try loaning out a crappy one next time.

So are you saying that violins stole your pen, or that the violins had some kind of psychoactive influence on the orchestra kids that make them do so?

I side with the Jets over the Sharks, personally. These new gangs sound menacing to the established order. Something will certainly have to be done about it.

Weird. And you know that you can but plain, unsalted and un-buttered kernels, right?
