PPP = Poor pencil placement
Following on from this thread which amazingly ran for 2 pages
https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/how-do-i-sharpen-pencils-with-long-leads-t86121.html
I thought we could discuss the merits of a pencil placement.
I'm now worried about the long term effects of putting a pencil behind my ear.
Firstly, I only put a pencil behind my right ear, never the left. Could this cause deformity, the possibility of an over enhanced ear projection on the right.
I often suffer from imaginary pencil syndrome, that feeling usually whilst at home in the evening, that you have forgotten to remove the pencil from behind your ear and therefore constantly reaching to remove an invisible pencil.
An insecure feeling when not pencil carrying (by ear), sort of lost vacant feeling, possibly even a little drafty on that ear.
The natural theft which occurs when someone offers you a pen to sign with, signature, and then behind the ear.
The habit of always putting it behind the ear can be embarassing at posh do's with the misses, dinner jacket with a pencil / pen behind the ear has resulted in a few tongue lashings.
The double pencil trick doesn't work, putting another pencil behind the ear when an existing one is in place is a disaster waiting to happen, often results in first pencil slipping down the back of the t shirt and shot directly between my butt cheeks, an embarrassing fumble follows and then having to offer the pencil to someone else.
Worse still I now have glasses and haven't yet mastered combining the two.
A haircut can cause untold damage to the holding ability.
A pointy pencil........... very dangerous on occasions.
Any others
