It’s not a thread title, but in the same spirit, one of the supply cabinets at work is labeled “HiLiter Pens”. I misread that as “Hitler Pens”. ---

Similarly, there _have_ been some thread titles in The Game Room and its precursors that talked about the Designated Hitter rule which I always read as the Designated Hitler rule, which seemed more like a Mafia style game title to me. _After_ I had seen it and had thought that it would make a good game title, I found out that there _is_ one called “Secret Hitler”, but of course I think it should have been called “Designated Hitler” instead. ---

It looks like the pen Hitler preferred, at least the one used to sign the Munich Agreement, was a [dip pen](http://intrenches.com/wartime-nibs.htm) utilizing an inkwell, as shown here: [![](https://brewminate.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/100218-24-History-Nazi-Munich-Agreement.jpg) ](https://brewminate.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/100218-24-History-Nazi-Munich-Agreement.jpg) Your company is pretty inefficient if it’s still using that type of pen, never mind the impropriety of calling them “Hitler pens”. 🤔 ---
