….. but is that a vape pen over his ear?
Either that, or to go along with today’s theme, the lead in his pencil is really protruding. But it isn’t very sharp.
Old style carpenters pencil. Probably has the name & address of the lumber store on it. Sharpen ’em with your pocket knife or razor utility knife. Some folks collect the antique ones if they’re unused.

That’s why you don’t leave carpenter’s pencils or any other type of projectile near a table saw blade.
From First Kiss to Last Kiss! Now I feel that there’s not much left for me. Still, it closes the circle in a weird way.
