I'm going to feel dumb for posting

if you guys don't think this is funny. But I got a good laugh!

We just saw the commercial where it shows a pencil and says "its even in classrooms, board rooms, even in space" and then the pick up a Mac book air from behind the pencil (so thin you can't see it from behind the pencil).

DH had this really disappointed look on his face and said "awwww man. I thought the pencil was making a comeback."

[speckledfrog]

That's pretty funny.

[meggers5]

I laughed

I love this. And I love pencils! I use one every day to do the NY Times crossword puzzle in our local paper. /old person

[CurlyQ284]

I've always used pencils too. I make too many mistakes for pens

[bania]

Hahaha. I love it.

He needs a box in his stocking for Christmas.

Aw. That's actually kind of endearing.

I often use pencils, but only mechanical ones because I hate sharpening.

[julez]

I haven't seen the commercial, but I thought that's where it was going, too. Team H!

[isabel]

Lol your H sounds cute.

[milosh]

lol! I saw that and thought the same thing!

[CheshireGrin]

I like pencils. Pencils are cool.

I have to use a pencil in my agenda/planner because appointments change so frequently. My preference is mechanical. Also, once there is no eraser left I must throw it away, even if still really long. Sorry Mother Nature. Can't risk the sound of the metal scraping the paper (goosebumps just typing that).

[missmaddie]

Dup. I still like pencils though.

I use pencils in my planner for the same reason. And I hate the eraser problem. 

These are my favorites: www.officemax.com/office-supplies/pens-pencils-markers/pencils/mechanical-pencils/product-ARS24108

The original eraser is at least an inch and a half long, and the package comes with an eraser refill. I've never run out of an eraser before I broke the pencil (they're not particularly fragile, but I'm hard on everything I own).

It gave me a big smile- thanks!
