Have You Heard About Our Crime Fighting Pens?

For many years we’ve given away these great little BIC ink pens here at the office.  Patients have told us over and over and over how much they like the pens and how reliable they are.  And they are.  It’s the little pen that just keeps on working.

We’ve spotted our pens around the valley in the hands of a variety of people.  It’s fun when we go to purchase something and the waiter or clerk hands us one of our pens to use.  Oh yeah, we love that.

But we always figured they were just good, inexpensive, reliable pens.  Recently, however, they became crime fighters. 

A month or so ago Ben’s sister was home alone when she became a victim of a crime.  A couple of thugs knocked on her door and since she was by herself  she didn’t answer.  Then she heard the sound of a window being broken.  Terrified, she locked herself in one of their bedrooms and got out her phone and started calling for help.  Every number that she called went to voice mail.  And then, as she was sitting there terrified, she remembered that her brother’s work number was on her pen.  Yep, those pens that we give away.

She called the office and we answered.   Ben found out what was happening and nearly flew out of the office to rescue her.  He got there as the police pulled up.  As soon as she knew people were there to rescue her his sister came out – very shaken, but physically unharmed.   (The criminals were caught and sent to prison.)

Ben’s sister was in the office the other day and she was offered more pens, but she said that she didn’t need any – hers was working just fine.
