Isn’t that painful, guys? And it’s a good thing there’s no lead in pencils.

When I was young I had a Battlestar Galactica launcher toy with foam vipers. I started using darts instead and shooting the fence. My mother disapproved and soon after it disappeared.

And their mother realizes that buying a brand new pencil sharpener was a mistake.

For boys who are supposed to be such geniuses in math and science, Jason and Marcus certainly do a lot of stupid things!

From the look of those guns those are basic spring guns. The ones that shoot a single plastic dart with a suction tip designed to stick to flat surfaces (sometimes). And yes those can sting if you take one to your arm. Boys will shoot each other given the chance and my friend was a better shot then me. Not something like a Nerf Gun that could handle the number of pencil’s they appear to have gone threw.

The graphite from a pencil puncture leaves a pigmented tattoo mark in the skin for years.

Now they’ll have to get the lead out.

I’ve observed a lot of very educated people have very little common sense. These two are getting a head start.

Thus would be virtually the exact reason that at the same age, I learned how to administer medical attention myself …

Impressive power in that dart gun…..

They would be twice as smart if they were half as smart as they thought they were.

Two of the pencils seem to have gone through their legs and are popping out on the other side. The one in Marcus’s leg definitely went through his leg

why did you do that woulded that hurt
