mar10pen15

march 10th always make me think of the pen-fifteen club. when we were kids, we would ask other kids if they wanted to be in the pen-fifteen club. to join, you only needed to let us write PEN15 (in pen) on your hand. the joke of course, is that it looks like you have the word "penis" written on your hand. i thought that someone in my grade school made this up. but apparently, it's pretty universal. in college, i learned that everyone knew of the pen-15 club. moreover, my friend dave had a variation on the game. where he grew up (cincinnati), they called it the March 10 Pen Fifteen Club. Of course, the joke there is that it looks like you have the words "mario penis" on your hand, which is funnier, i must admit.

so now that's what i think of every march 10.
