Still, I'll do it!
I'll report in tomorrow.
HOWEVER!
As we're playing for keeps. You must use the word 'Rubber' in the context of 'Eraser'.
e.g. I used my rubber because I wrote something wrong with a pencil.
Deal?

Ok, I did it tonight at the bar.
Me and an old friend are sitting at a table with a couple of his friends. I had been late arriving, and in the course of the conversation someone asked me what I'd been doing. It went something like this:
Me: Filling out job applications.
Them: Oh, that must suck.
Me: Yeah, it does. Especially because I only have one application from each department.
Them: Don't screw up.
Me: Well, I usually use a pencil first so that if I screw up I have a
rubber to fix it. Then I just go back and rewrite everything in pen.
The people at the table kinda sat there for a bit, and I thought they were going to let it pass without question. For those few seconds I thought "maybe it's just an awkward pause." I must have had an expectant look on my face or something, because my buddy (bless him) finally gave me a quizzical scowl and said:
"A rubber? What, are you ****ing your applications?"
And that is my cross-cultural experience with the word rubber. Your turn.
