Where do you work that not ONE co-worker has a drawer full of plastic sporks from fast food drive-thrus? Or is this the fate of the office outcast? Hrm, perhaps I shouldn’t keep “borrowing” those labeled teas… -Ms. Fix-It

omg wtf is that? It looks nasty
It looks kind of like gagh, but I don’t think it’s very fresh. (Fresh gagh would be squirming, so I don’t think the pens wouldn’t stand up in it like that.)
klingons don’t bother with utensils silly human!
now that’s using your noodle… works better on alphabet soup, cuz ya can just write in the missing letters. they double as straws as well.
Darn, I left my chop sticks in the other desk. Well, this’ll do instead.
These are chop sticks! They’re labeled “ULTRA round stic grip”!
Dovetails nicely for people who chew on their pens already.

Chop-Bic’s?
Win
soy sauce…ink…..close enough
I had to do this once. The ramen in the vending machines don’t have utensils. You gotta do what you gotta do.
This proves the old adage is true, “The pen is mightier than the fork.”
Note they didn’t just pick any old pens, those are the ultra heavy duty ones with stic grip for improved noodle handling. The pro’s choice. Can also function as straws to suck up the remaining soup.
The pen may not be mightier than the sword but lets see you do that with two swords.
Don’t worry! If the ink cartridge breaks then it’ll just add seasoning.
…. and make the meal more nutritious.
Waiter? There’s an octopus in my soup!
((For those who don’t know, octopi squirt ink when threatened.))
If you have to explain the joke… >_<
(We got it. Then you had to go and ruin it.)
Post-it note in the background reads…
“REMINDER: If you can’t find a pen, check your bowl of noodles. If you can’t find your pair of chopsticks, check the sweater you are knitting. If you can’t find your knitting needles, check the bun of hair in the back of your head.”
Win!~
I dfidnt know Bic made chopsticks.
Hay, now when you chew on your pen you’ll still taste lunch.
I’ve heard of writing your name on a grain of rice, but come on! This is just silly.
So THAT’S where my pens went! I’ve had to use a pencil for the past two weeks! Ramen-eating bastard!
om nom nom nom nom nom
Bringing alphabet soup to a whole new level…
All thanks to Bic, I understand that the soup was heated up over a cigarette lighter and the onion grated in with a disposable razor.
i hope that is squid ink
That’s funny, I was just thinking how I hope it’s NOT.
I don’t believe anybody was really doing this. Totally staged.
ninjas in the old days were taught survival techniques to help them improvise in their limited surroundings. today’s ninja is not so different
I really wonder how the ink tastes. Does the black ink taste different than the blue?
Nobody’s stopping you– let’s all go find out and then report back.
Aw, kc/cc, you apparently never have been a pen chewer. I’ve had a few … “mishaps” in the past.
No, just switched to gluesticks and crayons long ago. Won’t let that happen to ME again, no way.
I can just imagine someone doing this and coming out of it with a blue/red/black face.
I did this once because I was too lazy to go back to the breakroom to find a real utensil.
Makes sense to me. The ultra stick grip will help to keep the noodles from sliding off the pens. It’s like Chopsticks for Dummies.
Not if you use them with the grips on the opposite end, as they are in the picture. I thought everyone kept an extra plastic fork, spoon and knife set in a desk drawer, along with disposable chopsticks?
pffft.
Amateurs.
Watch the ink!
OMG, when I was in school I always used a ruler as a spoon whenever I forgot it too.
…A ruler as a spoon? How on earth does that work? Take a picture and submit it to explain! :p
Depends what you’re eating. If it’s pudding, for instance, the curvature of the spoon is not as important as with, say, broth.
But really, a spoon is an entirely superfluous utensil. Anything that’s too runny to eat with a fork is something you can just drink, no utensil required. The only reason we have spoons is because polite society frowns on simple and practical approaches. This is the same reason fancy restaurants and state dinners have multiple forks per place setting with different numbers of tines. You couldn’t use the same fork to eat salad and also the main course; that would make table manners straightforward enough for hoi polloi to learn. Can’t have that.
People with too much time and money on their hands need stuf to do too!
efficiency note #57
At lunchtime it’s not necessary to use silverware, you can just use your favorite writing tool to pick up your food… and make that important memo be no longer delayed!
MMMM memolicius!!!
Why? With Bics you get egg roll.
That was reaaaaaally bad! I admit, I still laughed, though.
you, my friend, are a genius
Hey Bill I returned your pens. Thanks!
Bic Pens – NOT BPA Free…
I prefer my titanium spork and collapsible chop sticks. Thanks ThinkGeek.com
Ugh, that food seems creepy to me. First thought was MAGGOTS
Yea.. maggots.. Idiot.
Lost boys!
Eeeewwwww.
What – because holding the bowl up to your lips and slurping the noodles down would be too crude?
Pah! Amateur! When technicians forget a fork we just use a container from Blank CD’s and a handy screwdriver.
The Pen? The Pen is not mightier than the fork
The ink adds zest.
AT&T of course!
