'''Brad Dowdy:''' It broke in half, which is not hilarious. And I'm sitting here giggling. So it was the damnedest thing. I've never seen a pen do this before.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know me, man. I raised my eyebrows at something like that. Right. That shouldn't happen, especially on how much of those pens cost.
