Forget console wars.

Forget technological advances.

Forget the arms race.

Forget the space race.

The search for the ultimate new technology is over. The race has been won. There now exists one single invention that will solve every problem you have ever had.

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you...

The Pen Genie.

Doesnt make a lot of difference to how I normally play the drums to be honest.

I look like I'm swimming through jelly when I play.

Managed to split my hand open once, blood drenched snare, and usually smash myself in the face once or twice.

All good rock'n roll fun

Just thought of something.

If you put two drum sticks, the wooden types, in each Pen Genie, one on each hand, you could play the drums without having to hold the sticks, and REALLY look like a retard, waving your arms around.

Come on, how many of you are pretending to do a drumbeat with Pen Genies now?

What a great invention. I'm ambidextrous so I have had to order two. And at less than £8.00 for the both it's a bargain.

They do like the word 'innovation' don't they?

Surely it's a lot of hassle to take it off every time you have to use the toilet, or shake hand with someone, or not want to look like a gimp...

Right, I'm going round there now with a big stick.

It's for the best really.

And I got the following reply:

Hi Ben

Yes a Crayola standard sized crayon fits perfectly and indeed we already
have them on trial in some schools. We're struggling a bit with the
Spray-paint Genie at present but watch this space.

I saw Ronnie Barker with a pen in Porridge!

I think the cage around the head will prevent the pen from injuring them.

Besides, at least now they can get rid of those big rods sticking out from their foreheads that they use now

What happens when you forget, and go to scratch your eye?

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Many thanks!!
