You really need to switch to 40 responses/page. This thread is only 3 pages for me.</p>
<p>Also I don’t understand why everyone thinks this is so funny. Here’s my take.</p>
<p>Which pencil to take depends entirely on your own personal pencil habits. If you’re a person that likes to customize, decorate and personalize your pencils then you should go with the standard yellow ones, as I’ve found these to be the best material for it. For example, you can carve your name into the pencil, or for statistical purposes, carve a mark or crest or badge into a pencil for each homework assignment/test/etc. This way you can see exactly what a pencil’s been used for at a glance. Then you can give veteran pencils a break now and then, and perhaps veterans benefits. You can put them aside in a special box too, once they are too short and have many decorations. I recommend making all such marks on the top of the pencil near the eraser, so that way as you sharpen it you won’t have to re-carve to adjust for decreasing length.</p>
