What with all the e-this and e-that, pencils are on the way out. And yet, I still use one because it's easy to rub things out. And it means you can re-use bits of paper. And yes, I have a
RocketBook.
Anyway, I dropped my pencil and this caused the lead to break internally. An entire pencil is now
written off. Sharpening results in that disappointing limp lead moment.
I propose a high-tech pencil lead repair kit.
This would include special pencil writing glue to bond the broken lead pieces together, a sophisticated and tiny needle with glue nozzle to perform key-hole micro surgery on the pencil, a
full heads up display to ensure the glue goes to the right place and post-operative testing and rehabilitation to ensure the pencil was making a full recovery.

I wasn't terribly bright as a child (not that anything has changed) and used to pencil fight, which involved two children hitting each-other's pencils with their own until one broke. (the similar game of "slaps", I believe should be used among adults, but I digress again) |

Thereafter I would get in trouble for having to make repeated visits to the pencil sharpener. It took months for me to associate these two sets of happenstance. |

// You can sometimes fix an internal break of a colored
pencil (pencils of color?) by heating it up // |

Yes, you can. I used coloured pencils when making pretty
diagrams for those C level coves (in fact that gives me an
idea... ). Anyway, I do much less of that now, so I use HB
pencils. |

Yes, simple diagrams in bright, primary colours work well. Try to avoid complex intellectual concepts, bearing in mind that a challenging book for them spreads a statement like "Patch Chases The Red Ball" across two pages. |

Watching them pointing to one word at a time and seeing their lips move is hilarious. |

I'm let down by this idea, I thought it was a pencil with a
viagra dispenser. |

That it is an idea I can get big on! |
