Sometimes groans are entirely appropriate.
At least he doesn't have a mechanical pencil, where he needs to twist his shaft
with his fingers to discover that his point is protruding.
I've often thought the orignal phrase was a pun:
The pen is mightier than the sword
vs.
The penis: mightier than the sword
or
The penis: mightier than the word
(word meaning speech, or, if capitalized, the Bible)
It actually is a fairly decent pun if left alone. Sadly, a lot of guys like to
play with it.
