April Fools, on Me!




You are not going to believe this one!  You saw my April Fool's trick where I stuck a piece of black tape on my shirt pocket to make it look like my fountain pen leaked?  Well, today, while sitting at dinner, Kathy said "What is that on your shirt?"  I looked down and was horrified...   If you can believe this, and I barely can, I put a fountain pen in my pocket with the cap off, and the nib pointed down!  I think about 1/3 of the ink was sucked into my shirt!  I can't believe it!  While putting ink remover on the stain, the ink started to spread, and made an interesting looking abstract "painting." And here is one more amazing thing - after the ink remover, and a soaking in detergent and Clorox and then a trip through the washing machine, this is how the shirt pocket looked!

    I recommend investing in a "plastic pocket protecter"! By the way, don't you have an iPhone that would be capable of storing notes to yourself? For a tech guy, I would think electronic notes kept in a small device would be much more efficient than having little paper notes everywhere.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for a great laugh! Of course, I'm sorry about your shirt, but you must have a million white ones because I don't think I've ever seen you in anything else!

    From the wife: I love these comments! And yes, he does have a million white shirts, and yes, there are little paper notes everywhere. But, I guess there is something gratifying about writing it on the card, and even easier. I think it has other less practical meanings though. Perhaps it has an esthetic quality, artful....very "ken." I like the idea of a pocket protector though!
