Fun at the Art Store
Sep. 6th, 2011 03:34 pmSo, I go into Jacksons today to get some supplies for university. I'm wandering around looking for chiselled art pens. One of the girls that works there that I'm familiar with, S, walks over. "What are you after?"
"I'm just looking for a chiselled fibre-tip pen for casual calligraphy."
A couple of the girls there giggle, and S says, "Casual calligraphy. You make it sound like casual sex!"
"Oh it is!" I say. "Classical calligraphy with the pens and the nibs and the inks - you gotta commit to that shit! Clean the nibs! Take out the rags and blotters, the water, the ink pots! I just want to label shit in a school portfolio! Not write an invite for a wedding!"
S laughs and takes me over to a display bristling with pens of every type. "So, we have some double-ended ones..."
To which I completely lose my shit. Seriously, I couldn't talk. I was bent over double, laughing my tits off. And so were the rest of the girls in the shop. There were some entendres flying after *that* one, I tell you. Anyway, I got one of the double ended ones in every colour. ;)
