{Shakes head in disbelief}

In the average classroom, a teacher comes across a lot of writing implements that have been left behind by students. At one point, I had an entire shoebox filled to the top with old pens, pencils, Sharpies, Magic Markers, and the odd crayon or two. But the pen I found today is the topper. Or, shall I say, the, ahem, high point of my pen finds.

It's a basic Bic ballpoint pen, non-retractable - the standard "round stic medium" - you've probably got one on your desk right now.

But not one like this pen.

This pen, ladies and gents, seems spawned from the mind of, oh, I don't know, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong.

To wit:

In bold print, with an image of Old Glory waving proudly, are the words Keep America Drug Free.

And, below this legend, the name of the company whose dime paid for these pens is inscribed in a lovely, flowing script:




General Dealer Supply


Oh, yeah! Far out, man.
