We all know that “#1″ is synonymous with a particular bathroom habit. Maybe that’s the reason they chose not to name it “#1?” I don’t know. I got nuthin. Obviously….

I love # 1 pencils. They write nice and darker than # 2 pencils. They are not easy to find, though.

If the toilet theory is correct I’d rather have a number 1 than a number 2 any day of the week.
Although I suppose the number 2 would write better.
