I've had a couple of those pen's. They're called "the fisher space pen". About £15, ish, come in a neat little black plastic case.

They're about the size of a bic, slide in to themselves to about half size and look like silver suppositeries. They'll write through oil, upside down, in a vacum, 30 degrees below zero and are virtually indestructible.

I've lost both of them.... DOH!

ok...
Nice urban legend.

Take a look at www.snopes2.com

In the business section, under Ingenuity, you'll find the story of the Fisher space pen.

Or better yet: buy one here

Some of us Yanks, do a bit of research before spouting too loud.

Something to learn in that joke though.
