Sure

What about some ink cartridge?
You got this for Christmas? Without the matching ink cartridge?
Only ONE needle? Well, if you only print in black, that's not a problem....

[FYI : Possessing some printer is fine, but the ink cartridges for it are notoriously expensive. Not that much of a problem for the likes of you (?!), but for the ordinary folk like myself a bit of a problem.
So, I have got five (and more) of those kinds of needles + the matching bottles of ink (magenta, yellow, cyan, black, cleaning fluid / whatever).
Take out the empty cartridge: bore a little hole into it, or heat some darning needle over a little flame and stick it into the cartridge.
Take this lovely needle, suck some ink into it, and fill the cartridge with ink.
(And you try not getting your hands blotted as well ! (put on some thin plastic DIY-gloves)).
Then screw in some 'parker-screw' or - a bit easier - pour some candle grease into this tiny litt;e hole you made, blow, wait for it to dry somewhat, and put the cartridge back into the printer.
Agreed, it is a bit of a hassle, but it saves a lot of money.
Provided of course you need your printer to print anything.]

Perhaps there's some practical joker at work here; someone thinking: ah well, I don't need this needle anymore, AG might put it to better use, being a writer and all that.

Clearly a gift by someone who fancies you.

Do you need an injection? Aren't you a best seller writer?

For today I wish you une assiette de fromages et petite salade verte
aux Deux Magots, une pièce de tarte tatin chez Lipp, une coupe de champagne à café de Flore, une heure intense au Bilboquet ...
and the music of La Bohème.

Are you not a fellow belonephobiac ?

Stick the needle in your arm, suck some blood into it and you'll have a cheaper and more original filled printer, nice to print your family New Years wishes for instance.

How did you arrive at this vampire suggestion?
Do you belong to the Addams family?

@Bert
Not so uncommon. Even our illustrious Jan fabre likes to make art/write with his own blood. So did Saddam Hussain and a few others.

The Adams are pussies compared with my family.

I intend to use my menstruation blood for my next artproject.
