Brevity by Dan Thompson for October 13, 2016

I always have to steel myself for these horrible puns.

BTW, I’ve always thought it was funny that stupid thieves, over the years, have been known to rip out and steal faucets…..

They try to sell them for a lot of money, because they’re marked “Sterling”, a popular brand of bathroom fixtures.

That’ll galvanise them into action.

If he moves, he can take everything except the kitchen zinc…

I love these puns about metals. They’re so earthy.

Sometimes iron out of puns

Do you want a zinc sink?

Do you have it in pink?

Only grey I think.

I’d like to try 12. Unfortunately, the use of magnesite seems to have disappeared around the time of the (First) Depression. (Great puns in the comments, btw).

Boy he has the brass to ask that…

We don’t need no zincing countertops.

But eventually the coppers catch the thieves.
