This Is A True Story
I was attempting to write a check recently. This is not unusual as I am very rich and often write checks for large sums. Partway through filling out the check, my pen ran out of ink. I had already written the amount in words (ten dollars and forty-six cents) but had yet to fill in the numerals or sign my name.
Following a brief search, I located another pen and completed the check. But then I noticed that the first pen's ink was blue; the second, black. I imagined the recipient of this check (the lucky soul who is now $10.46 more prosperous) wondering what calamity had befallen the first pen. So I wrote "first pen ran out of ink" in the memo section at the bottom left-hand corner.
My point is this: I prefer pencils.
