First Parker Pen in space
It was a maths class, that much I remember. Maybe I had finished a test or exam early, it's a bit unclear, but I was bored and had my head on the desk, lying in that side-ways kinda way. My shiny metal Parker ballpoint pen had a very satisfying and strongly spring loaded click.

With my ear on the desk, it sounded very good. After a while of gently clicking the pen against the desk, I realised that the spring-back would pop the pen up and off the desk surface. From mildly jumping off the desk, to my helping it skyward like a shiny spring powered rocket, shooting to the heavens, was a very simple step.

Christ only knows how long I had been doing it (or indeed if I had been making any assisting noises), before I realised the entire class and teacher was looking at with with the slack-jawed disbelief usually reserved for someone who actually shat on the teachers desk.

I usually burn with shame at dumb stuff I've done in the past, but for some reason, this just makes me grin.
