HA! My coworker and I (both gifted I might add) actually have pen dismantling races... we do it during conference calls. We do it when we are thinking. Some people doodle. We dismantle pens. If you take this activity away from her I am sure she will replace it with another. I was actually in a silly putty phase for awhile. My little tin of putty was my "toy" while I was working.

My advice: Buy cheaper pens! smile
