Strange Brew by John Deering for March 17, 2020

Reminds me of Victor Borge’s uncle who was an inventor. He decided to invent a drink, so he came up with several ideas, but the one he liked was number 3. So he came out with “Three up”. It fell flat.

So after much effort, he came up with “Four up”. Nothing.

“Five up”. Nothing.

“Six up”. Still nothing.

After that much work, he decided to cut his losses.

He’ll never know how close he came.

WD-40 is called WD-40 because there were 39 other attempts to make it work.

It was originally developed to coat the skin of missiles to keep them from corroding. It is not patented but is a trade secret. Rumor has it that the main ingredient is fish oil.

And there you have it. One of nature’s miracles explained. Whatever it is, it keeps half the things around my house moving except my joints – I take fish oil for that.

died of terminal WHAT?

the first testers were a bunch of a**holes.

The real reason for the run on toilet paper.

So this is like those tests in school where you have to figure out what comes next in line? The headstone would be upside down.

I guess those ones didn’t sit too well.

Prep A must’ve been a real bear!

Buried face down.

Piles of money was spent on this research.

They were all left with burning issues.

They must have applied it to the wrong spot.
