Has anyone ever kept a biro long enough to run out of ink? I'm pretty sure the ink's unlimited and we just lose them.

Also, dental floss.

I've never had them run out exactly but I've had them go weird. Like when the ink sort of separates out into zebra stripes.

My wife keeps a handy pot of biros that don't work. Which is so useful to have when you really need a pen and not frustrating. She says it's to keep them separate from the ones that work and we've had the 'put them in the bin' discussion and somehow she won so...

And the ones that do work are kept in a locked drawer, "so they're in a safe place".

Solution: put the pot in the bin.
