    Someone brought this up in work. What do you think there are more of in the world? Pens or Chickens? I'm inclined to think pens, but even I go through an awful lot of chickens...

    Title of thread needs an "i".

    But my answer would be.....penkens.

    I'm an expert on this subject and I have insurmountable evidence that there are 24,998,376 chickens and 24,998,377 pens in the world

    I've gone back to using pens, the chickens were makeing a mess of the letter signing.

    It all goes back to what came first? The quill or the lump of graphite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    I'd say pens. I don't think people eat that many pens.

    i wonder if the inventor of the interwebz ever thought this was gonna be what it was used for lol


    i've went through maybe 20 pens in the last 4 years.. never really buy them and use the same ones in work all the time. but i've prob eaten hundreds of chickens in the last 4 years. add to that the fact that half the world can't afford pens.

    What sort of sh*te workmates do you have if ye have to resort to this level of conversation?

    Oh wait.... do you work on a marijuana plantation?

    yes, but i worked with a woman once that eat about 20% of them daily.

    Nervous woman.

    Perhaps it was due to the fact i had the desk directly behind her.

    Pens.
    Theres vegetarians to consider,they use pens but don't eat chickens.
    Chickens get eaten alot by us Irish, but almost every single person needs a pen at some stage of the week, where as chickens might not come into play for a long time if we've been having beef or pork...
    Why in blue blazes are we talking about this again???

    Did it all look like chicken scratch?



    I've lost loads of pens over the years, never lost a chicken.

    If all the pens down the sides of the couches around the world are counted, I'd say there's more pens. Probably not that many couches with chickens down the sides of them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    Just because nobody has said it yet...

    CHICKENS!!!!
