This Thing is Broken!

My old roommate pointed a laser thermometer at a pencil on a table, inside our house. The laser thermometer read 68F. He exclaimed, “This thing is broken”! I asked why he thought it was broken? His answer blew me away. 

He said: “This is a pencil. It doesn’t produce any heat. This thermometer should say 0”. At first, I didn’t know what to say. I stared at him for a few seconds, unable to collect my jaw off the floor.

I said: “Well, 0F would mean it is frozen, or well beyond frozen, so I think 68F is the temperature of the air in the room”. This man was 26. His two adult brothers were sitting in the room. I was the only one who understood why the thermometer was correct.
