Think about all those innocent pieces of paper that have been crumpled up and thrown away from writer’s block!

I’d blame the Chicken Muse, but tis probably wise not to draw her wrath lest you become hen-pecked.

Pencils are only evil
in the eye of the beholder.

Doug, you seriously made me laugh out loud! I *did* know about the evil pencils, which is why I use the noncommittal word processor.

Fortunately you always spot the evil pencils–they have those cheap crappy erasers that don’t actually erase (defeating the point of using pencil in the first place). It seems to me that many, if not most cheap things are, in fact, evil…maybe there’s a cartoon there…

Thanks for the enlightenment - - I always blamed that blank page. Innocent until proven guilty I guess!
