Nothing like those early, Monday morning meetings about Monthly Stationary Budgets to make you want to blow your brains out but, help is at hand.
You need a piece of stationery that no one else has, and, is designed to let you pretend that you’re still listening when you’re really not. Meet the ingenious Etch-a-Sketch Pen, a pen with a miniature Etch-a-Sketch at the top which actually works. The two knobs allow you to create your own mini-masterpieces and a little shake is all it takes to clear it off and start afresh.
So, while your manager is getting apoplectic over the mysterious disappearance of rubber bands, you can nod sagely while sketching his ugly, bulbous head.
Risk takers among you might want to try out the equally fun but noisier, Operation Pen, which features a mini-version of that classic game, Operation, complete with mini-tweezers, flashing nose and internal speaker. Jump now for a photo.
Each pen costs a measly £3 here.-Martin Lynch

I've had an Etch-a-Sketch pen for years so there's nothing new about that (unless this one is officially licensed, unlike mine).
