At Nat’s office in York, England, one of his coworkers has been trying to bully everyone into coughing up some cash for an (admittedly worthy) charitable cause.
In Nat’s opinion, however, her guilt-heavy fund-raising techniques might benefit from a little fine-tuning…especially given that all seven of those special “charity pens” were nicked from the office supply closet.

you SHOULD have known ‘cuz they’re BIC pens- British Infirm Children! It’s not like they needed extra marking or anything…

Be grateful the offender didn’t use one of those stolen pens to insert an “i” in the word “pens” in your note.

If it’s for a charity, and you are concerned about where they go and how, then why aren’t they locked in your desk?

I see the future. Paris Hilton will insist the coke/marijuana/whatever illegal drug was in her purse was an accident during her 7th arrest.

It’s a vicious cycle:
1. Resources for disabled children are underfunded because Low Lifes (who should be ashamed of themselves) steal pens from sponsorship initiatives.
2. Then what happens? Said children grow up to become pen thieves!
3. Thereby making it too inconvenient to sponsor do-gooders! (see step 1)

7 accidents for 7 children on the 7th day of the 7th month in the 7th hour and the perp is the 7th son of a 7th son – dios mio!
Call the police pronto.

Are 7 accidents the same as 7 emergencies?

Those disabled children needed the pens so they could fashion them into crutches in the workhouse. They are very small children.

Maybe they needed the pens to write checks for donations to that disabled childrens’ fund! What about that?!

Hmmmmm. . .
7 pens went missing, and yet only 4 individuals used said pens to sign up. . .

Wasn’t it really just one pen (with seven different colored ink options)?

I think I’d find her spamming far less annoying if she’d at least write a decent, well thought out comment.

I hate children. Those grubby little bastards don’t deserve to have pens.

I stole pens from the elderly once. It was unintentional, but awesome.

The police should visit here http://preview.tinyurl.com/2vtr4ts to find the stash of disabled kiddies’ pens. The last person to use the pens is the obvious culprit.

Based on the attitude, the writer should probably invest in a ‘Cross’ pen. It would suit her mood.

Stealing pens from charities isn’t cool… maybe that charity should install pen chains.
