This is my pen cap collection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It lives in a can labeled \u201cpen cap orphanage.\u201d<\/p>\n

One (1) can. Just one. One can, but many pen caps. At least I don\u2019t have packing crates filled with them — yet. And I\u2019m not going to let that happen, either.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But first: I know you\u2019re wondering about the big Y of it. Well, it\u2019s because I find it disturbing when pens are left without their caps. So I save loose pen caps that I find, with the idea that I\u2019ll always have a replacement cap at the ready. But of course, my own pens are never without their caps. Ever.<\/p>\n

The pens without caps are elsewhere, in the hands of inconsiderate users who don\u2019t even think about these things. I would never even be friends with someone like that, let alone invite them into my house. Therefore a pen cap orphanage in my home is useless. I\u2019m just now realizing that. It may seem obvious to you, but to me it\u2019s an epiphany.<\/p>\n

Where I work there\u2019s someone who goes around taking off all the pen caps as a matter of routine. [And I\u2019m<\/em> the sick one?] No one knows who it is. Some day that person will be lost in the desert and die a long slow death of dehydration and see what it\u2019s like.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I\u2019m transferring my orphanage to my workplace, where it\u2019s certain to be useful. I\u2019ve made it a point to obtain almost every color and size of pen cap ever made so I\u2019ll be able to rescue any type of pen.<\/p>\n

If I were a known conceptual artist, I could get no end of recognition for my kindness, but since I\u2019m not, my mental health is called into question.<\/p>\n

The next item I\u2019m going to post about, however, might make pen caps look really sensible.<\/p>\n
