That’s some Tiny wood .

Dang! The lead broke. Now, how am I going to sharpen this thing?

A Professor Calls “Pencils Down” and one students keeps writing.

When the student goes to turn in his exam, the professor tells him, “l’m not going to accept this, you didn’t put your pencil down when I said to.”

“Do you have any idea who I am?” The student says, snobbily.

“I don’t have the slightest idea who you are and I don’t care,” the professor retorted.

“Good!” The student replied as he slipped his exam into the middle of the stack and walked away.

Never borrow a pencil from Prakash Chandra.

(at the airport): “Name sir?” “Prakash Chandra Upadhyay.” “Gesundheit. Name sir?” “Prakash Chandra Upadhyay.” “Gesundheit. Name sir?” “Prakash Chandra Upadhyay.” “Gesundheit. Name sir?” “Prakash Chandra Upadhyay.” “Gesundheit. Name sir?” “Prakash Chandra Upadhyay.” “I’m outa here…………I QUIT!”

On this day in History

Nov. 13, 2017

First Barbie doll to wear a hijab, modeled on Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad unveiled in New York..

Making the tiniest pencil…what a waste of time!

On the other hand, 62 years with a company…that’s an achievement!

Time to grow up, Hank! Retire the ears!

Obviously, Chandra is one of those who had a lot of time on their hands. How do you get time on your hands and how do you get it off? Watch me!

And how did he get the graphite into it?

Some of these items are pretty lame. Must be getting desperate for content. lol

The reason cats are such good mousers? They (allegedly) can hear the meece’s footsteps…..Fluorescent light bulbs are actually flickering strobes of light that houseflies can actually see so that’s why it’s difficult to swat’em successfully…..

So Hank started in 1964, years after the company formed. Tell me about their retirement plan again.

How big is the lead, and eraser?

So? Break his pencil in half and have a new record.

During Walt Disney’s centennial year (2001), employee name badges at Walt Disney World showed favorite Disney memories instead of home towns. For all I know Hank was one of several older guys who had “1964 World’s Fair.” (Mine would have said either “Comics and Stories” or “Wonderful World of Disney” – we went to few of the movies and never to the parks when I was a kid.)

Someday,it will be revealed that Ameen was the true inventor of Flubber

I thought that Micky Mouse was the longest serving employee at Disney.

Oh, WOWEE!!

Prakash gets locally sourced toothpicks for his raw material

I have seen videos of red foxes do that.

Other animals do pay attention to the ears and actions of foxes.

Otherwise known as a splinter.

62 years with Disney…No wonder he cant afford to retire….Did He ever get a raise?

A cop sees a suspect he’a been on the lookout for, breakdancing.

He reports to dispatch, “Suspect spotted engaging in high-profile break-dancing in the main square.”

New dispatch responds, “Copy that” … instead of the usual 10-4.

Somewhat confused, the Cop says, “I’ve had a couple lessons but I’m no way as good as him, sir.”

Regarding the toy pencil: “.2 and .02” are NOT inches! Try the phrase “of an inch”. You’re welcome.
