The last time I bought a pen was at the airport so I could do a crossword puzzle. It was something like $4.29 with tax (but it says "Chicago" so at least there's VALUE in return). The newspaper was $2.00. Even boredom is expensive these days.

The pens that addled me the most were the ones for the Spirograph. If the ink dried out or ran out, it was hard to find some regular pen that would fit into the little holes. There are undoubtedly web sites now that can whip out Spirograph patterns flawlessly in any color you wish for.
