My teacher asked why I always bring a pencil case to school but borrow a pencil from her every single day.

Punchline

I told her I'm preserving my collection. Those pencils aren't for using — they're for having. Big difference.

She said that's not how school supplies work.

I said maybe her pencils should've come in a nicer case.
