I have this writing device at work that I got from the Blue Cross of California representative when he came last year. One side of it is a pen, the other side is a highlighter. This is very useful to me when I use one feature at a time.
Sometimes I like to take the caps off both ends at the same time. Whenever I do, I suddenly get this instinctive feeling of fear deep within my heart, simply from gazing at this fully unsheathed writing/highlighting instrument, reminiscent of Darth Maul’s Light Sabre. It always bothered me when people had pencils without erasers, that were sharpened at both ends. Some unwritten law of stuff design should clearly state that a thin, cylindrical object should have, at most, one pointed end. The other end should be, at least, flat. Preferably, it should be a bit larger than the rest of the object. Like a nail, or a fang, or a knife, or a finger. The sight of an object like said pen/highlighter evokes a feeling of imminent danger, like the it is poised to jump through my ribcage into my heart at a moment’s notice. I think I’m gonna put the caps back on this thing now...
Go ahead envy me, I’m rap’s MVP
