Yesterday, I stopped by the pizza shop to pick up some wings. Wearing my Gray IAP T-shirt. I go to the counter to place my order. There is a bench to sit on while you wait for them to serve it up. A gentleman sitting on the bench, behind me read the Logo on my shirt, and says " What's a pentuner"? I had to correct him. I say "Penturner" It's an International Penturning Organization Online"
Here's how the rest of it goes:
Me: We make pens on a lathe
Him: You mean like Custom Made?
Me: Yes
Him: Do you make Fountain pens?
Me: Yes...also Rollerball and Ballpoint
Of course I didn't have one to show him,
but I have a photo of the Blue Acrylic and
Aluminum Kitless FP on my Visa card. I let him
take a look.
After that his order was ready, and he headed toward
the door. He looks back and, says to me,
"It's nice to know that, not everything is made
in China" :redface: Have a great day!
I think he's a penturner! :biggrin:
