Old joke:

Q. To examine if you are a real pilot. How much does a USA Today cost?

A. I have no idea.

Q. Well, you are a pilot.

Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen. Machined from any number of solid metals (copper, zirconium, titanium, bronze, etc) uses multiple types of inserts to include the G2 gel, and in a pinch can be rammed through someone’s skull! Had mine for three years now and love it, plus the copper is naturally anti microbial for you germophobes.

Same here regarding pens in hotel rooms. In fact, no notepad either anymore. This has been a problem. And I don't understand why these items are no longer there. If you can disinfect a remote, you can disinfect a pen. The paper? Just swap them out, you're already saving tons by not providing breakfast anymore.

As far as keeping (keeping sounds better than stealing doesn't it) hotel pens, yep that's been my thing too. I'm really partial to the Sheraton pens. Since china flu, I've been resorting to taking my wife's pens (from her work). She says they have an abundance of them. Still have not needed to buy.
