Imponderable #937

Whatever happened to the Number #1 pencil? We know the #2 is ubiquitous, but where did the #1 go?

    Maybe it’s only used with A3 paper?

    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.
