But you’re going to need to use a little creativity. This pen normally sells for £695, so you’ll have to work for your chance to win it.
We want to know why you should win this pen. But we don’t want to hear the best or most convincing reason. We don’t want to hear people begging. We want you to tell us the most amusingly tenuous reason you should win this pen. For example:
Your childhood sweetheart was learning to play the cello at school, and you always remember the way she held the bow. That bow was made of the same pernambuco wood as this pen’s barrel, so it would always remind you of her.
Your dog can’t bark very well. He just makes a kind of squeaking noise. The tree that pernambuco wood comes from is also known for having a very flaky bark. Just like Fido.
We’re hoping you can come up with better ideas than those. The sillier the better, and the more tenuous the better, but there needs to be a connection there. We won’t be checking that any of your reasons are true, so feel free to lie to us – funny is better than true, but it will probably work best if it sounds feasible. The winner will be the person who posts the comment we judge to be the best.
