Jаnet mаnufаctures and mass prоduces a special pencil that makes it easy tо fill in the blanks оn a scantron or similar form. When you use it, you don't have to push hard on the paper. It will make a dark mark without any effort. Janet takes all possible care to be sure that every pencil comes out of her factory working properly. Cecil bought one of Janet's pencils at the school bookstore and tried to use it on his Business Law I final exam. It did not work correctly, making incomplete marks, and sometimes jumping from the correct box to an incorrect box, all on its own. Cecil had to hold it down so hard to complete the test that his hand cramped up afterward, and hurt so much he was no longer able to use it. He missed the next semester at school, and a lot of work. Cecil had to see an orthopedist, a physical therapist, and a psychotherapist before he regained full use of his hand.
