Sometimes I'll write items that make people believe I'm a contributor to the Babylon Bee. This isn't a good habit because your might scratch your head and ask, "Is he joshing me?" In this case the answer is no.
When NASA started sending astronauts into space they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, Congress approved a program and NASA scientists spent over a decade and $165 million of our dollars developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down and on almost any surface and at temperatures ranging from below zero to 300 degrees C. What an achievement.
Why, it's almost the same as when we came up with Tang. Well, not quite. The Russians also faced this problem but they spent less time and less money. Their research shows that a pencil solved the problem. Cost? $1.09 for a package of 3.
By the way, the government has extended the time to pay your taxes from April to May.
