Subject: 80's "flip" pen
No one seems to remember this but me... in 2nd grade (1984) I had this pen (I called it a flip-pen) which was kinds flat (not round) and it folded into itself (flipped on a hinge/piece of metal) so you wouldn't write on yourself. They came in many colors - I had yellow. Does anyone remember these...and if so where can I get one!?!?!?

I had a red one and a white one way back when but I don't know where to find one now.

The last place I saw one of these was as a souvenir for some stately home or something like that.
I guess you just need to keep your eyes peeled if you visit any places like that, museums, galleries etc.

There's also a pen I remember where there is a naked girl/guy and you'd flip and turn it over and their clothes are removed and were nude.I know you guys remember this... :o ;)

Meanwhile, please enjoy this novelty pen.
Why would I want a pen with a picture of... ooh, her clothes are coming off! You know who would love this? Men.

It was a pen with a girl or guy on it with their underwear on and you'd turn and flip the pen right over and their clothes come right off.
