    #2 pencils…something our grandchildren will never understand! Just like slide rules and rotary dial telephones.

    You are such a conscientious social activist, Andrew. We’ll need to start a write-in campaign to elevate the #2 status! Have a great weekend.

    I love this one even if it does refer to number two. Clever thought process. Is there something in the air there?

    I was a rebel back in the day. Always preferred and used #3s. They held a point longer.
