She makes an excellent salient “point”.

Wooden you know it. He’s not too sharp.

And #2 (or HB) pencils are probably number one when it comes to popularity for everyday use.

“You’re not fooling anyone.

You’ll be stone dead in a moment.”

I always preferred #3’s. Don’t wear down as fast and you don’t have to sharpen them as often.

I remember one year my parents tried to save money and bought a different number pencil that was cheaper. She asked me why I had the wrong number and told me to get number 2s.

if he wants to be #1 he needs to get the lead out…

Absolutely adorable bums!

From Pencils.com: “… there is no specific industry standard for the darkness of the mark to be left within the HB or any other hardness grade scale. Thus, a #2 or HB pencil from one brand will not necessarily leave the same mark as a #2 or HB pencil from another brand.”

So what’s the point?

Don’t try to flush a number two. You’ll have a real problem.

Must you be so blunt?

Said Avis….

How much mileage do you get out of those feet?
