Why did the pencil want to kill himself?
He had no point in life.
Listen up, Einstein. You see, the pencil wanted to off itself 'cause it felt like it had no purpose, no reason to keep on living, get it? But here's the kicker: it's a pun! "Point" can mean both a purpose in life and the pointy end of a pencil. So the pencil's lack of a "point" is both a reason for its despair and a literal description. It's funny 'cause it uses the double meaning of "point" to link the idea of suicide with a common writing utensil. Get it now, genius?
