Like all the best laws, yours is painfully true. (It also helps that you have an uncommon surname; if I ever formulated a law, I think I’d use my first name.)

Thanks Sarah. I’ve actually been using the “DF” on the pencil for a couple of years. It was my idea, but I paid a graphic artist to do it properly using part of an image I’d bought from istockphoto.com

Ha ha, been there, done that! I loved the story, David! I tweeted it and retweeted your tweet too, just because I can.

BTW, I’ve never before noticed the “DF” pencil in your picture at top right. Is it new? Awesome!

Cheers, Sarah

Hi David,

It could be worse.

We sent a doc out many years ago with a reference to the IT Mange instead of IT Manager.

Well David. You did achieve a kind of fame as I have quoted your tweet in an article I have written for the Spring 2010 Edition of the ISTC’s Communicator journal. It certainly made me smile. See you at the London Tech Writers social BTW.
