Dangerous Pencils and Fountain Pens
What a cruel world:
In the real world…
…people seem to be taking planes hostage with fountain pens.
Look at this headline from Sky News:
An Air China flight had to be diverted after a passenger held a crew member hostage using a fountain pen as a weapon.
In the fictional world…
..people seem to get tortured with pencils. In the TV series Bosch this pencil is referred to as the Black Guardian Pencil.
You might think the torture is down to the pencil being so scratchy – or so overpriced and doesn’t keep it’s point …but the fictional world is far more physical when it comes to stationery torture.
Last chance to look away…
