Pencils Without Eraser Heads

So we have a few pencils. They couldn't be a centimeter shorter than their original length. Yet their erasers are completely rubbed off.

I find I don't want to use these pencils. In fact, to begin with, I was only looking for an eraser since I am sketching with charcoal. This makes the pencil completely useless.

Normally one thinks a pencil's primary use is one of creating lines. It was the opposite function I needed.

I use charcoal sticks. They don't have erasers.

But this pencil seems defective, incomplete without an eraser head. Used up. Finished. I want to throw it away, but can't bring myself, knowing that I *could* get some use out of it.

Makes you wonder what a pencil even is.

I forgot about those little eraser top things. Kaley just looked over my shoulder and said, "I have some of those eraser top thingy-ma-bobbers". And she just gave me three.

We need a new Bud Light commercial about real men of genius. Mr. Eraser Head Add On Inventor...

So now I have room for some error. :-)

This is full circle on my New Year's Resolution to screw something up.
