Sorry, sorry sorry...

• Why would a pencil own a television?
• Are pencils sentient enough to understand the concept of ownership?
• What kind of ocular facets does a pencil have that allow it to watch television - let alone own one?
• What kind of television is a Pennsylvania?
• Even if we had got through all of that, is it obligatory for a pencil to own a 'Pennsylvania' TV set?

Is this joke something to do with Dracula that's been lost in translation? Or just a random collection of words?

You can lead a pencil to water, but a TV must be LED

The pencil didn't need a television. It was, however, convinced otherwise.

Easily lead.

How do pencils actually buy a television? I can't believe any pencil owns a television. Pencils do watch television as I've got one on my mantelpiece and it doesn't move when I switch the telly on, even when there's a crap programme on, like Loose Women.

I don't actually get the original joke. For someone explain it. Possibly thereby making it funny.

Do you find that Loose Women puts more lead in your pencil too?
