Professional Pencil Sharpener

Professional pencil sharpener. [VIDEO]

Yes, It's true. I dont think I've ever heard of this career in high school but apparently you can make a career out of sharpening pencils, which would allow you to Write the actual book about pencil sharpening.

as a side note, you can order your own professionally sharpened pencil for the price of about 15 bucks..

The people I know who work for NSA all claim to "sharpen pencils" as their daily activity.

That sounds ominous.

Hmmm... I wonder if this guy has heard of things like AutoCAD and Pentel pencils? Would it be safe to say that he has a SLIGHT obsession he's dealing with?

I'm old enough that I have spent lots of time on a drafting board. I have sharpened drafting pencils on sand paper and mastered the art of twirling them while laying down lines to keep their point.

The old Mechanical Drawing is pretty much a dead art. The last drafting table I can remember seeing had a computer with AutoCAD setting on top of it. Engineers offices don't have to be quite as big any more either.
