Go Yedda!

I assume it's because our hot moist breath can melt dry ink off the tip of the pen.

The pen is mightier than the sword

Why do we blow steam on our hands in cold days? to warm them up, of course. that's the reason we do the same on a pen- to warm up the ink and to facilitate it to flow freely (ink becomes thicker in cold temperatures). another reason is:  the humidity softens dried ink on the ball point
