My recently acquired son-in-law does a lot of traveling and speaking. I've been toying with making him a set of pens that shamelessly pander to his audience. The inspiration came from the bolt-action pen from Penn State. Sadly, there seem to be more pens suited to gun and military enthusiasts than others. Below is the list I have so far.
NRA - Bolt action pen (the best) or antler or bullet (so many choices)
Techies - circuit board pen
Patriotic - American Flag (he will be sworn in as a citizen this summer)
Breast Cancer - a pink pen
Military - camo
After that, I'm kind of stuck. I think I need a dozen pens for the gag to work. I'm having a problem with the...ahem...left wing. I'm looking for pens that would work with as wide a variety of audiences as possible. The comedy is not to mock. For instance if he shows up to a NRA event with a bolt-action pen, he is not mocking the NRA. He is pandering to them. So what pen might he use to pander to other groups without insulting them?
If it's of any use to you, you can see him here (http://www.cato.org/people/ilya-shapiro). He represents the Cato Institute so he would be of the Libertarian persuasion. He's pretty handy to have around any time I have a question about the Constitution.
