Show Me an unusual Writing Tool and the Tale that it Tells ~~~ This Syringe Ball Point Pen, was given as a Gift, some Years back, to Young Kids who were in Long Term Hospital Care, and the folly of the Gift did not come to anyones attention until the Patients (Children) were noticed to be "Pretend Shooting Up"...using Dressing Gown Cords for a Tourniquet and Living out Scenes from the latest Video of Ghetto Life. The Hospital Board *voted* to Confiscate the Pens, however, I beat them to it with this one. My Tale comes from New Zealand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A splendid anecdote and capture - dunno how I am going to follow that - will have to give it some thought !

LOL!How politically incorrect!!!I can't believe someone would give these to children!Oh my! Hmmm.I don't know if I have anything remotely unusual like this...I'll have to take a looksee...

quite an interesting pen...pretty cool and would be neat to give to nurses or medical assistants or something, but to kids? hmmmmm. here's the only unusual pen i have that i've kept. i took this picture last winter i think, but i got the pen for kemal many years ago. we both love birds! :)

Gave them to kids, Mmmm someone didn't have there brain in gear... Nice Shelia...Great shot of it aswell. Well, here is mine, given to me by my daughter, used for dusting down the old keyboard. Just a quikie shot at 6:30am, Yaaaawn.... Steve

great picture, Steve!!!! and what a cute pen!!! i luv lime green! :)

What an odd, but cool idea! Love the pens you've show so far everyone! I have a few odd writing instruments, but the only one I could easily lay my hands on was this "roto" pen. As an Art Director and one of my company's marketing guys, I get a lot of stuff from other companys in the way of promotional material. They send us samples of things we can put our names on and hand out to customers at trade shows. This odd pen comes apart and has a little propeller inside. The top and bottom are attached by a cord, and when you place the prop in the base and pull the top, it will spin and fly up into the air. Yeah, I killed an afternoon playing with this one time. ;]

i had fun playing!! :D.. neat to see.. not really satisfied with this but only an exercise.. wheeee.. xmas cards.. & uhhh.. no tale to tell :/

Cynlee ...I can tell that You are Kack Handed...a Leftie! Cool selection Folks...Sheila...Yours emulates Your Haircut...it is a Cutie! Steve...put a Number #4 Hook on that...it would be a fine Trout Lure. So...Kort...a real oddity... Your Penis :] Opps!...I mean Your Pen is.

Kort, what a cool pen! i certainly never heard of one with a propeller inside! Cindy, neat image! i really like that multicolored pen that looks like a coil! christmas cards? uh oh! i REALLY need to finish mine! i sent out cards to my family and a couple of friends i've had since i was 18 years old, but that's it. looks at calendar...wonder if i can do it? OMG, someone pick up a shift for me!!!!!! Brian, well reckon my hair does look a bit like that most of the time! :)
