Why is it funny?
I wonder how Pacific Pens came up with the "safety" angle?

For what it is worth, I have handled (and repaired) a Waterman Safety in the Silver Ray material.

Isn't it called a safety pen because Waterman advertised the screw on cap meant ink would not leak however the pen was carried, (which could happen with a slip cap pen) which was how the original "safety" name originated?
Ironically the cap is missing here, which makes these parts highly dangerous!
