- What’ll they get into next?
- Who?
- BIC.
- The pen crowd?
- Yeah, them. But they make razor blades and razors too. And lighters. And Tippexy stuff. And glue. And crayons. It was in the paper that they’ve even come up with a mobile phone. What’ll they get into next?
- Condoms?
- Jayzez, could ya imagine the slogan: Put a BIC on your bollix.
- Gas! Hey listen though, if they leak anything like their pens I’m not going near them.




BIC pens leak?
Over here we’d say, “put a Bic on your ___” (rhymes with Bic, starts with a D)
Is Tippex what we call “White-Out”?
Ha! Very good!
I see you were on the bus again!
@TheChrisD - It would seem so.
@Sugar Britches - Is Tippex what we call “White-Out”? Yes, it would seem so.
@problemchildbride - It would seem so.
@Grannymar - It would seem so. But no, it was at the checkout in the local shop.
It would seem so
Good name for a post!
Pens, shavers, mobile phone? Pffrt! I bought a nice surfboard from BIC sport. And I am learning pen spinning in Bic Pen Spinning Academy. I will miss out on the European pen spinning competition; can’t wait till they organise it in Australia!
@Grannymar - You use it. Quickly now, or I will.
@Gaye - I heard about that but I didn’t think it was for real. That’s mad stuff!
Akshually, I am not studying or learning pen spinning. I have been an awesome pen spinner since uni. The skill kept me awake during many classes while studying economics *gag*
Definitely lied about the surfboard, too.
I was sure I dropped a little gem on this post yesterday. Are your filters that good they’re evaluating double entendres now?
@Gaye - Lies! All lies! But then I figured that. Hey, what’s wrong with that - this blog is mostly lies anyway.
Eh, economics? You didn’t! That’s more boring than Governor Palin would like to do.
@Eolaí gan Fhéile - Fek! My anti-spam system is very strict - just 2 appeared this month which is a record - it’s normally 2 every three months.
Sorry about that.
Even though I never read it, I am giggling at your little gem as recompense. I hope that makes amends. If not, then mail me with it and I will enter it manually.
