Dear Diary,

Today I discovered that my laser pointer is, in fact, a ball point pen as well as an old fashioned pointer (the pen end pulls out). As I was extending the pen-cum-pointer link by link and marveling at it, the PI happened to wander by. He asked if I was planning to thwack someone with it.

Sincerely,

S
