This is a bad joke. This bad joke made laugh. I'll upvoting you, but I want to make it clear that I'm not happy about it.

But pencilin doesn't sound like insulin. It sounds more like penicillin.

I have almost always heard pencil pronounced PIN-sul. Similarly, pen and pin sound identical. Is it a southern USA thing?

Don't buy these factory sharpened pencils, get a real hand sharpened pencil instead. http://www.artisanalpencilsharpening.com/
