Pen in the Hair

Do you know where's a great place to store pens?  Your hair.  It's great.  And I know what you're thinking.  At what point does one need to store one's pen in one's hair.  When one needs one's hands and is unable to put one's pen down. I'm often with a pen in my hand.  It's a handy tool.  You can write stuff with it.  Poke people with it.  Chew ponderously on it.  You can even pretend it's mini sword and practice your skills.  But only if you've got time.  So, when wandering about with your pen and the sudden need for the use of both your hands arises, where do you put your pen?  Your pocket?  Don't have any.  On a table?  There is no table.  On the floor?  Someone might trip.  No.  You put it in your hair.  Booh yah!  This obviously works better if you have your hair clipped up.  It provides a kind of sturdy landing pad for the pen.  A cunning plan.  A cunning plan indeed.  As long as you remember to remove the pen from your hair.  As practical as it is, a pen sticking out the back of your head can look a bit random.  And it's embarrassing when one of your colleagues points out that you have pens in your hair.  Ah yes, storing them for later.  I once came home from work, unclipped my hair and not one but two pens tumbled to the floor.  How long had they been in there for?  Why had no one mentioned anything?  Maybe people had just assumed it was a Little Stalky look.  A look not to be questioned.  So I guess what I'm saying is pen in the hair is a good thing as long as you remember to remove the pen when your hands are back in action.  If the pen is there for a reason then it's practical and chic.  If you're wandering around with a pen sticking out the top of your head for hours on end then you just look like a loon.
