# It seems that the Biro pen company
died in 1948, but BIC started making pens in 1950 based on Biro's patented designs and is the market leader today selling fourteen million pens a day!

# I'll give a fiver to anyone who can
suck a bowl of mashed potatoes through biro casing. No milk/butter/cream/water/etc allowed.
