I was using one today and thought you would all get a kick out of it.

Those pencils have lots of life left in them.

I had a co-worker years ago who would bring me his tiny pencil (some smaller than your hubby's) and asks if he can turn it in for a new one. This always made me laugh. Thanks for the memory recall LOL

I love short pencils! I think it's a gene passed down from my grandfather (an artist) 'cept he used to wrap the ends in masking tape for a better grip. I use them for sketching and sharpen them with a utility knife.
