The hole In the door

[L Verge]

Actually, Thomas, that is a very good guess! Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember the old-timers (my grandmother, my uncle, and the guys who used to hang around our country store) using pen knives to sharpen the pencils they always carried in their pockets. Not many shavings resulted from one cutting, but over a period of days, there would have been quite a few gathered. The only question that comes to my mind is why keep them in your pocket when you are spending all your time outdoors?
