cranberry

The word cranberry refers to a person who has a pencil in his/her hand and feels the need to eat it.

This is often, and almost always results in a satisfied tummy.

The feeling began when a boy named Harry Butts, 4th grader, starring in the famous TV show, The Butts' Show, was writing an essay in his history class, and then suddenly his pencil breaks. He finds that the sound of the breaking of lead makes his stomach hungry. He wasn't hungry, of course, but his stomach has no race-not Italian, Mexican, or Greek-and finally decided that it was time to start a race of it's own. The stomach took over Butts' brain, and began to thrust it down his throat. He managed to fit it down is unrealistically wide throat, and when it reached his belly, the pencil dissolved in the acid of his stomach, and Butts got in trouble for the urgent need. He got an F on his essay, and he went to ISS, OSS, and got a counselor, and in each he ate every pencil in sight. That is how it all began.

"That guy is a REAL cranberry! No wonder why he never has a pencil!"
