    Grandpa always was a little "different," and when he started gluing razors to the kitchen knives, grandma ran as fast and as far as she could. He didn't miss her at all. "That woman wanted me to buy one of those fancy-pants utility knife thingies all the kids are using nowadays," he said. "There's no reforming someone who's that far gone."

      that's right
      Because god created man
      and then he looked at man and it wasn't GOOD.
      Man wasn't missing woman, He was Missing a place to put his pencil
      so he did what any self respecting god would do,
      He got onto you God Tube and there was another God Tuber showing
      15 HACKS FOR YOUR HUMANS
      and he saw one of them
      so.. he got out his drill
      and those ears that he picked up from Jaycar on special , 2 for a $1.
      He screwed them into either side of our heads
      so WE WOULD HAVE SOMEWHERE TO PUT OUR PENCIL
      or Cigar or whatever else, bubble Gum etc

      even if you wanted the return feature for a pencil as shown, they sell those already made, and its cheaper than tearing apart a tape measure, finding the right length cord, and using a heat shrink wrap instead of elastic rubber that would accept new drawing devices once they wore out.
