The Pen is Mightier than the Sword
So how come more people prefer swords to pens? (small imaginations?)

2. Reminds me of that scene in Bowling for Columbine...
...where Jim Nichols was telling Michael Moore about the pen and the sword. How did it go, again?:freak:

17. WHAT a psycho. Here's what he said:
"The pen is mightier than the sword...but it's good to have a sword around if the pen fails."

10. No, mine's strong enough as it is - no viagra-with-a-coy-name for me!
:rofl:

Well, I think it's strong enough - never got much of a chance to use it... pen, that is. I spend too much typing on the computer because we're a "paperless society", of course.

5. It is a sad state of affairs when
I am the third to notice, well, the same thing (at least I thought of it before I saw the message part)

11. Actually, and this is a first, no double entendre was intended.
At least until the final thought in parenthesis... (small imaginations)

Still, it's meant for its literal meaning anyway.

6. More to "wield," I suppose.

8. Because when the feds come to take your guns away,
stabbing them with a pen isn't going to do you much good, but going apeshit with a broadsword might make them think twice.


Of course, why anyone would defend guns with a sword is beyond me. :shrug:
