318949.0752 An odd image. A skit about pencils. Six women dressed in white carrying signs. They stand in front of a house and are surrounded by men in coat and tie and uniforms. The signs appear to be presenting problems with pencils. Oh woe is me. My points run down. Whatever shall I do. He'll get ahead if I stop here. I will wait a second or two. I cannot trace another mark. Until some help I get. I'll stop in here and sharpen me. Then go with on my bet.
