fountain pen

Disclaimer:

this is kind of imaginative and you can find painu post..but still you can enjoy it..
so story goes like this.
yesterday we were talking abt books..so friend was saying he couldnt read the Fountainhead as he found it heavy. this discussion was enough to put Fountainhead in my head as being read this novel twice and top on my favourites list. so my dearest hobby is to disect the words and reconnect the words with replacing them with synonims from different words or make some funny words/meanings out of word.

so "fountain" was the one. this word made me quickly recall me a past when I did not know the meaning of word fountain and one of my friend pained over my lack of knowledge :). till that time I knew the because it came in fountain pen.

so i started thinking about fountain pen and started disecting this word fountain like
fountain => found + ten (suppressed 'd')
=> pound 10

this meant I was actually found out what was the original Sellsman was doing..
they were actually selling some Pen with 10 pounds. and were shouting pound 10 pen.
and people mistaken that as a fountain pens.. and hence the name origined..

And with invention of this crazy origin of why they call it fountain pen the fountain pen and hence the Revenge!!! was it not sweet?
