Pencil People, PENCIL!

Ah the pencil thing! If you are new to the world of McLaughlin, then this might be making you go o_O.
Fear Not! Fan #1 will explain the infamous pencil thing!!

Whenever Mr McLaughlin took our register he would never have a pencil. So instead of going and actually getting a pencil like any normal person would do, he would stand at the front of the room and call:

"Pencil people, PENCIL!"

But that's not the best part, while he did this he would tap the thumb and middle finger of his hand together rapidly. You can do it too! Just repeat the action stated above, put on your stoopidest voice and call out:

"Pencil people, PENCIL!"

Now you too can become a never having a pencil guy!

The pencil gag has become famous in the absence of Mr McLaughlin, I myself added it to my impressions of the guy, it's right up there with the Tie adjust impression, the Queen of England impression and the Boygers on Thoysday!
Maho!
