Wacky Pen Facts and A Great Office Joke

Have a promotional pen at your desk? at your home? buried in your car console?

Nearly everyone has a promotional pen somewhere. The majority of companies give them out at some point. Most consumers will gladly accept and use a “good” branded pen.


Key point: “good.”

When choosing a pen to brand for your company, select a top quality pen such as the Textari Stylus Pen that writes smoothly and has dual function as a touchscreen stylus and ballpoint pen. If it becomes your client’s favorite pen, they will use it daily, have a special place for it and may even guard it.

Get your company name on that pen. Enough said.

Now, how about some wacky pen facts:

 - June 10th is Ballpoint Pen Day! Celebrate with your co-workers.
 - An average person in the U.S. uses 4.3 pens annually.

 - A ballpoint pen has a lifespan of about 50,000 words.
 - The most expensive pen in the world cost $8 million. Along with its divine shape, it’s decorated with 945 black diamonds    and 123 rubies.
 - You can learn about the history of pen making at the Pen Museum in Birmingham, England.
 - When offered a new pen, 97% of people will first write their name.

And a little office humor to share:

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "And what starting salary are you looking for?" The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer inquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?" The engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."
