Your tongue on a ball point pen

[falafel]

Thank you for providing a clear example of the problem with the pen.

Is there anyone else there that can help you find a functioning pen? An admin, an intern, a paralegal...perhaps even a small child? This seems to be a sizable task for you. I wish you luck on your quest to operate a disposable ball point pen. Please keep us posted!

Again, thank you, you've been most helpful. We have no other pens. Its either figure out a workable solution to this problem, or close up shop. I appreciate your patience.

Next step: closing my office door so no one sees me furiously rubbing the tip of my pen between my hands.

Once again I am going to venture forth and know I will regret this:

try doing it so the tip of the pen, the very tip (the part that contains the ball) is pressed tightly between the very edge of your palms (the side under your little fingers) this gives maximum heat.

I know this makes me look like a, well, not very good, but this DOES work, I tell you.
