Had to look that up as I wasn’t aware of them. Kinda cool.  
 

I’m old enough to remember fountain pens that had an internal bladder. There was a lever on the outside of the pen that when lifted would squeeze the bladder. On release,  the bladder would expand and draw ink from a bottle in through the nib. 
 

As a tyke, I thought that was cool. What I didn’t understand is that if you lifted the lever again, you’d squirt ink everywhere. Dad was NOT pleased… 😱

Yup, I have some of those too that I have re-sacked over the years.

I knew that lifting the lever would squirt ink - having seen that done in various slapstick comedies over the years - but I did not know why until your description of how the pen worked just now.

 

Thank you.

I tried to get this meme thread back on track with another meme after derailing it over the pen joke (sorry), but the mods must’ve found something objectionable and pulled it. Here’s another. Happy meming!

Thank you, I was wondering what the punchline was.
