A number 2 pencil, number 2, always number 2. Has anyone ever seen a #1 or #3 pencil? Do they even exist?

Wow. The guy actually sharpens pencils for a living, and he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. His web site is a real kick, too:

“I guarantee an authentic interaction with your pencil.”

“Traditionally people mail in their pencils to be sharpened; however David now offers a new service: He will provide the pencil”

Is it my imagination or are today's pencils garbage? The graphite core is not centered in the middle of the pencil so the sharpeners leave them with an off-center tip that breaks easily. And the erasers! Smearers would be a better name and after a few months, they get hard as a rock. Recently found a box of pencils in an old desk. They were from the 60s. Work great. Sharpen up to a keen center point and the erasers really work.

Why was the pencil in the toilet?

It was a #2.

Reminds me of a remark attributed to Mark Twain. Never believe circumstantial evidence. If you see a pencil sharpened by a woman, if you have witnesses, you will know she used a knife. If you go only by circumstantial evidence, you will conclude she did it with her teeth.

I know of a certain Pencil Necked Geek that could use some sharpening. He lives in the DC area.
