They should provide "graph"ite charts.

The visitors look like they think it’s time for a “pointed” remark, but they don’t have anything up their sleeves….(due to an absolute lack of sleeves)

Pointed end of pencil: “Creator” Eraser end of pencil: “Destroyer”

In this case, the “other end” means a eraser? It without, it could also be “chewed down to wood chips”…

I thought that exhibit was in the Hall of Horrors.

This museum contains things that depict graphite violence. Viewer discretion is advised.

You can’t write a graphite novel without them.

That docent is a fountain of knowledge.

Being a pencil is a grind.

Pencils have rubbers on the other end so they won’t have babies.

Graphite Pencils can really move, because they got the Lead out.

Pens are stuck up and don’t really care. But show them a bottle of ink and inform them that “back in the day” their tiny main artery was pumped full of the ghastly, black liquid until it leaked out!

I’d think that device would be used by Pencil spies to torture other ones for info or have been used in the great Pencil Inquisition.

“Which writing instrument do people prefer?”

’"Da pens."

Ha! I have all three and use them too!

2B or not 2B, that is the question!

I got annoyed when my school required me to switch from pencils to pens. Why would I want something hard to erase and quick to use up?

Well they is still used. So why they is in museum already?
