Quiz: Why Is Xfountainpens Calling A 159 A 530?

[k3eax]

I just a had a 'phone conversation with the folks at XFountainpens and was told that the X350 has not been in stock for over a year. No explanation was given for representing, on their web site, a 159 as an X350. However, I was assured that the problem would be corrected. When I asked how those who has ordered the supposed X350 would be compensated, I received an evasive answer. Make of this what you will.

 

I checked their site and as promised, it was corrected. There is now a 159 pictured and referred to as such.

I still do not have an answer, but you have changed the subject to ashtrays ! Why ?

To hold the ashes as this thread goes down in flames?

 

I guess I don't really need that consolation prize. I already have a 159 here. . . if I can get some help to lift it up onto the desk.

London bus-based trauma, mark my words...

I chose to make a small origami crane and a tableau depicting William Friese-Greene's pioneering experiments with moving pictures.

Nah...you got it all wrong; it has to do with sacred numbers.

1+5+9=15, 1+5=6

whereas 5+3+0=8 which is the most sacred number in the cult of The Spaghetti Monster, also know as "The Wet Noodle Worshipers"

No. . . the trauma all belonged to the Marks & Spencer bag. It didn't know if it was to hold clothing or groceries. The groceries, however, would probably have lasted longer than the clothing.
