Thread Name: Lost pencil
Subject: RE: Lost pencil
I don't have it, but I have plenty that are similar to it if you're not too particular. I have no idea where they come from. I can state with 100% honesty that I have not bought a pencil since I took that one required algebra class in college in 1970*. But my house is full of them. I use them for carpentry work and for crosswords when my confidence level is too low for a pen, but that level of consumption doesn't keep pace with the output of the mysterious supply source.



* English majors do not use pencils. Not even for rough drafts. It's part of our religion.
