What do you call a pencil with two erasers?
Pointless.
Why This Joke Works
A pencil with erasers on both ends has no sharpened tip — it's literally point-less. And "pointless" means futile or meaningless. So this pencil is both physically without a point and functionally useless. It's the design flaw as philosophy.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Ask the setup like you're presenting a defective product for inspection. Deliver "pointless" as a one-word verdict — flat, final, like a quality control stamp of rejection.
Perfect for:
- •shopping for school supplies at the start of a semester
- •when a project at work feels like it's going in circles
- •when someone brings you a pencil that desperately needs sharpening
