Pens And Goats

[markh]

OK - stick with me for just a minute.

 

I was at the Pike Place Market in Seattle a few weeks ago. Lots of craft type booths.

 

I passed the booth of Stone City Farms - the goat lady. (Love my goats! Love my soaps!)

 

The table was covered with various flavors of soaps. I have no idea how the goats and the soaps were connected, and don't feel any need to know.

 

BUT.... also on the table was a desk pen holder. Not that the goat lady knew this:

 

 

I asked why she sold pen holders, but this seemed to confuse her. She said they were for soap, made of teak so you could wash the soap off of it without damaging the wood.

 

I asked her if anyone had ever asked about using these a a pen holder - she had never heard of the idea.

 

Well, to each his own. I have one on my desk. It will hold 5 pencils, maybe only 3 large pens. Works great. And it's waterproof.

 

$12.

I think you found a creative repurposing winner here for all the right reasons..

...now to convince the goat lady to widen her marketing plan just a tad. :-)

Ah, but is it inkproof?

Damn. I thought a goat ate a pen. Would be my luck with my daughters goat..

I thought this was going to be a list of Greatest Of All Time pens or something.

 

Well, for those who came here expecting more goats:

Fainting goats. One of Nature's funniest creatures. Look them up on youtube.
