    This kludge breaks all rules!

    On close inspection, the pencil appears to be missing the point.

    So… Does this guy have a crooked penis?

      It may be crooked, but thanks to that penis enlarging spam email he got, it’s also no longer 4″, thus the need for the emergency ruler kludge.

  9. deeeziner says:

    Wouldn’t leaving the pencil *whole* have worked as well?

    Margin of error in measurement….+ or – an inch. A frightening thought when + or – an inch means + or – an appendage…

  16. Joe says:

    Measure twice…. ah to hell with it. Measure once, cut once, cuss a lot.

  17. no_one says:

    Now I see clearly why metric units are breaking imperial units.

    Also perfect for when you need a not-quite-straight edge.

    This is probably just a prototype for his new 4 in one Ruler/Pencil/Eraser/Tape Dispenser super-tool. Too bad he tossed it before he could work in a stapler.

  22. dono1 says:

    Curvature of the foot? See your podiatrist today!

  23. CT says:

    We all feared Sister Mary Catherine’s ruler, that was, until it had the misfortune of running into TANK ASS! Ah Tank Ass, we all knew that those 2000 calorie lunches would pay off in the end.
