I'm a notorious pen disassembler. Of course, as a kid I preferred some old pens from my grandfather's trucking business. The spring was a nice size and could double as an spring-launched pen rocket. I also have had the life long habit of fiddling with sheets of paper. I recently stumbled across some books given to me as a kid about paper airplanes, origami, etc by some kind soul who was trying to at least make my habits constructive instead of destructive. As a result I've started up the habit again of making things out of old marked up drafts of papers. There's something refreshing about seeing all the marks disappearing and floating away. Of course, most of the the planes crash. The pen comment gave me a good chuckle. I’m a notorious pen disassembler.
