why couldn't he do it in a bathroom or a closet?
most people don't have a pencil sharpener there.
oh i have one in my closet cuz it's right next to my desk... and he didn't have to re sharpen it... he could still write with the lead end and erase with the eraser end- that's what i didn't like in men in black.
100% origional!
That was easy. LOL I've seen this one before.
That is easy, but you said all he had was a pencil not a pencil sharpener.
