I am an ink-stained wretch |
|
How come I am incapable of using any pen other than a cheap ballpoint without getting ink all over myself?
Felt-tips, roller-balls, gel pens. When I come home from work, there's always a rainbow on my hands and often my forearms (but not if I'm wearing long sleeves -- am I just more careful when I'm sleeved, so I don't get ink on my clothes?).
Is it just me, or are other people as klutzy as I am with pens?

Y'all would be ink-coated no matter how far away you are.

9. ink stained wretch is a noble calling, eyesroll |
|
my husband always tells me that pens fly out of my butt (meaning my back pockets are always full of pens)since I take a lot of notes in my work.

10. HAHA! A judge called me that in court the other day! |
|
A defence attorney requested a publication ban and he said... "I trust the judgement of our inkstained wretches!" He's a funny judge.
