There REAL purpose.

Most of the ones I’ve seen are made from copper. I haven’t seen any magnetic ones yet. I guess they have them though.

Gold ones attract diggers

How does magnetism help with blood circulation anyway? Seriously. Is it the iron in the blood?

The Covid vaccine must have caused that. Take ivermectin and inject some antiseptic and you’ll be fine. You can ask Aaron Cnheesehead.

Supposed to help the circulation, mostly it’s main purpose is to make you buy it!

Earl all of those things may be done by getting up off of your butt and moving ;-)

“It doesn’t seem to work on Opal.”

Your utensils must not be silver or good stainless.

That’s about as close as Earl’s going to get in terms of having a magnetic personality…

I see that you’re a collector…

Earl’s wrist would get stuck to the refrigerator, too.

Oy! Earl….you could have left them at home….lol

Just be glad you’re not wearing magnetic UNDERWEAR..!!!! (ouch)

You gotta go with the flow, Earl!

The flaw in this joke is that stainless steel (most flatware) has at most a very weak magnetic property. This is also a flaw of the crackpot theory (illustrated by people with spoons stuck to their nose) that vaccines make you magnetic.

Leave it Earl….

It also accumulates money from suckers on the Internet.

My dad had one of these along with a copper bracelet, he died of bone cancer.

and used hearing aid batteries…….

On the bright side Opal, you’ll always know where to find a paperclip, or safety pin when you need one.

I seem to recall that only metallic iron is attracted to a magnet and the iron in blood is not metallic iron. Doesn’t it come in our diet from food rich in various ferric compound? These bracelets are a fraud, right along with the copper woven into elastic supports and gloves.

That’s an interesting charm bracelet you have, Earl.

Some of those things turn your skin a healthy green, too

I have a strong magnetic closure on my Fitbit band. I got it because I could adjust the band to exactly fit my wrist… but I also found it has amusing side uses, like pretending I can levitate tableware.

I have a bracelet like Earl’s, but I use it to hold small tools and parts while I work. It hasn’t made me any healthier, unfortunately…
