In the early ’60s when we were taught cursive we had to use fountain pens. What a messy nightmare…and if you pressed too hard the tip would separate and make 2 lines. Ugh. I do have nice, legible handwriting, though, so maybe that precise control actually did help.

Never, ever shake fountain pens. And why does she listen to him, anyway?

Opal should know better than to listen to Earl. How long has she been with him anyway?

Run, Earl!

I rest my case on Opal…It’s a good thing Earl didn’t tell her to wet the tip with her tongue.

My finicky neurologist husband always writes with a fountain pen. He has to buy them on line.

Ever tried to write with a Feather Pen? Very difficult… the duck does nothing but complain about it…

I have a Fountain Pen but it’s still in it’s pack.
I want to keep it as a valuable just like I’m keeping soap from Disneyland.

The fountain pen is why God gave us the pencil (with an eraser.)
