imagine, if you will, what word "pen15" resembles. The way to gain entry to the pen15 club is to have a "member" write "pen15" on your hand with a pen.

Ah, there's the problem. I went to an all boys prep school. That would be about the last thing that would ever happen.

If you don't get it, you're allowed in the club :)

Don't feel bad. I was asked if I was PT (which they said meant Potty Trained). Of course I was... and then they said it meant I was PT! A Public Toilet!

So then I said, no I'm not PT! But then it turned out I was not Potty Trained!

There was much back and forth, but it really bothered me all year. Was I or was I not a Public Toilet? Was I or was I not Potty Trained?

Luckily, the senior year of college doesn't last forever.

senior year of college??!??! Damn, I'd have thought this would have been something for middle school.

Never heard of the pen15, either, though.

Well, I didn't feel like typing it. :) I don't know if the system would censor it or not (and I see that it doesn't).

I think it actually became *safe* to say after the Lorena Bobbit escapade - the media had to use the correct terminology and after that, the word was used more often.

I'm a little confused also. :confused: I was expecting pictures, wonder if our members are into the use of special pens?

I may have fabricated the senior part :D Kindergarten, more like it.

Thanks for the Island link... that's too funny.
