Knowing you, I first thought you wanted something sharpened that sounds similar and has wood component too.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...

Yes, yes, it does.  The whole concept is a laugh and an exercise in absurdity and wasted motion.

wasted motion is subjective.

Sort of reminds me of that myth about Soupy Sales telling all the kids to send in the pictures of presidents mommy and daddy keep on slips of paper in their wallets.

I don't know if it's used in all businesses but in the print industry in the UK if you tell a person to "sharpen your pencil" it means for them to quote a really competitive/cheap price for a job.

Kinda defeating the object with these pencils though!  ;D

I understand the meaning of having lead in your pencil...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

As in "You can take a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead?"

Can't draw without it ;D

Never could get the hang of horses, but real good with dogs...
