A writing implement that includes an elastomeric hand exerciser object and
integral amusement device. The elastomeric exerciser, preferably a shaped
ball, has a diameter that allows the ball to fit between fingers and a
palm of a closed hand of a user such that manual gripping and releasing of
the ball exercises hand, finger and forearm muscles/ligaments of the user
and thereby diminishes repetitive stress states of muscles/ligaments of
the hand, fingers and forearm. The shaped ball is secured to one end of a
transparent barrel that has a writing implement secured to the other end.
An amusement device is positioned within the transparent barrel.
