    Default Put in my place!

    I was recently in a shop and had to sign a form; the first two ballpoints I was handed wouldn't work, so I got out a fountain pen (a Pel 400, as it happens) , only to have the juvenile behind the counter say " A fountain pen! Just like they used to use in the olden days!".

    Thanks, sonny. That made my day.
    Some days, it's hardly worth chewing through the leather straps....

    I was at a car dealership this summer and wrote a check to cover the damages. The sales manager said, "Whoa! You don't see those very often anymore." I don't know whether he was referring to the pen or the check.
