A ball point pen and removable cap combination includes a ball point pen assembly and a removable cap that has a clip/writing-stabilizer portion extending away from the closed end and the open end of the cap. The ball point pen assembly includes a point portion and a barrel portion. The removable cap is capable of sliding longitudinally and fitting by a friction fit onto the barrel portion, on the barrel end opposite the point, when the ball point pen assembly is used for writing, forming a pen-cap combination. In this way, the removable cap can rest upon the skin of the hand between the uppermost joint of the index finger and the uppermost joint of the thumb when the ball point pen assembly is used for writing. Also, when the pen assembly is used for writing, the clip/writing-stabilizer portion extends towards the pen point and is in the vicinity of the pen point, whereby the index finger and the thumb of the user are in contact with the clip/writing-stabilizer portion when the user is writing with the pen-cap combination. The removable cap has a first length from a closed end to an open end. The barrel portion has a second length from one end of the barrel to the other. The first length is at least 50% of the second length, providing a short pen having a relatively long cap, giving the appearance of a baby or midget pen.
