What Do You Use Your Pen(S) For?

[PAKMAN]

I try to do all my writing with a Fountain Pen. I do a crossword or two a day, write in my journal, write checks, the occasional card or letter (rare), sermon notes from church on Sunday, messages from phone calls, etc.

I use them for everything. Always carry a 146 and MB Classic with me. For field notes and work related papers, I prefer the rollerball (MB Classic) and for diagrams, sketches, letters, notes, etc I prefer the 146.

I write with mine. 1% of the time, I have to use a ballpoint pen. The rest of the time, it's an FP.

When I sign a cash register receipt of the thermo paper", I remind the cashier, "Careful. It's wet."

Now, the regulars say it to me. As I handed the signed dinner receipt to the "middle-Eastern" lady, at my favorite café, she smiles, "Careful. It's wet."

I was flying home via Accra, and had to fill in an immigration form on the shiniest paper imaginable! I only had a Mozart FP on me, and no matter how long I blew on the ink it would not dry. I queued and handed it to the Ghanian immigration officer, advising him to be careful with the wet ink. He ignored me, then looked at me as if to suggest I was trying to be funny when he saw half the writing was missing from the form! Back again, queue again, and the same guy but by chance he grabbed the card on the edge and my ink stayed put long enough for him to stamp my passport.

 

I now always carry a Staedtler Stick 430 ballpoint when travelling...

I have been told I 'point' with mine a bit too much

Isn't it amazing that such a small fp can get you sent back to the end of a big queue!

I use my MB 146 primarily for writing in my daily journal and for taking notes for my Objective-C programming class.
