They had one of those for weed at the Portland, OR airport and I noticed it had a noisy metal lid.

Might as well have been a dinner bell for the TSA agents...

Sorry. As an American occasionally exposed to Canadians, it's pretty embarrassing. 

Memeshot sorta related. One of the most brilliantly subtle Twitter replies I've ever seen:

Hayes Carll is the American equivalent of Corb Lund. 

Bic did change the design. There's a hole in the cap now. In case you get it stuck in your throat, now you'll whistle instead of suffocating.

Yep.  I tried to use a pen cap as a plug for a vacuum line.  Boy, was I disappointed.

Well...

I had a few Bics in the late 80s. This one's still at our cottage along with a Reggae.

I collect fountain pens and having the hole actually speeds evaporation and drying out the nib in the capped pen. I always figured having the pens without the holes would be a positive evolutionary measure ensuring that only the stupid ones would fail to live long enough to breed......
