The American government spent billions of dollars and finally a manufacturer designed a pen which could write upside down, under water, even in the vacuum of space... The American government were so excited they took their new pen and showed it off to the world and gloated at how marvellous they were.. In an interview Yuri Gagarin was asked how he felt about not having this marvellous invention when he went to space... He grinned and simply replied "No problem... I took pencil!"
