BIC For Her Retractable Ball Pen
BIC For Her Retractable Ball Pen
The BIC For Her Retractable Ball Pen line sparked hundreds of sarcastic reviews on Amazon by singling out men who just wanted a pen to call their own. I am having a hard time figuring out who is more sarcastic with this one: the men or the women…
Our favorite review:
1.0 out of 5 stars “Gents, don’t buy these – hold out for Bic for Him!”
By D Berkowitz
“I thought, being a man and all, that since they didn’t have any manly Bic for Him pens, I could buy these, as I need pens and can’t always wait for the appropriate pens to come out for my underserved gender. What a mistake.
And don’t think I didn’t try to look. I searched this very site for Bic for Him, and it recommended the BIC Cristal Stic Ball Pen, Medium Point, 1.0 mm, Black, 12 Pens (MS11-Blk). These are Cristal! There is nothing manly about them, short of the “Stic Ball” reference to a very manly game they used to play in Brooklyn, back when they had stoops.
Amazon also recommended other products, like a Coleman Two-Burner Propane Stove. I admit that is somewhat manly, as it involves fire and propane, but the last time I tried writing with a stove, I unleashed a wildfire on a national park and am not at liberty to discuss that further until after my next court appointment.
So now I’m left with these Bic for Her pens. I took one into a meeting at the office and couldn’t stop drawing ponies all over my business proposal. Ponies! The guys here will never let me live that down. I mean, hearts would have been bad enough. I didn’t even know I knew how to draw a pony.
Men should definitely wait until a Bic for Him line comes out and should not attempt to use these as a replacement. Nor should guys try writing with a propane stove. Also, since this is a two-pack, I have a second pen unused in mint condition (though the package was opened), if any ladies out there want one.
They get worse:
