Strange Brew by John Deering for February 14, 2021

You know what they named the robo-cop?

“Brillo” … you know: Metal Fuzz.

Do you have it in something other than steel blue?

It’s the finest steel wool we have 0000.

Do you have one that isn’t so itchy?

Shrinkproof , but let it rub you the wrong way.

I’m traveling a lot. Do you have this in stainless?

Just don’t give me the brush off…if it’s itchy can I return it for a smoother model ?

I bought my wife 200 lbs of steel wool. She’s going to knit me a stove.

Stay away from 9 volt batteries.

Scratchy …

Do you have anything in chain mail?

I find that steel wool is itchy.

See anything that you take a shine to?

I’d like to see the sheep that wool came from.

But it’s a dinner jacket. It needs to be stainless steel.

It’s gonna take a lot of courage to wear that. That leaves the lion out.

I think of the Jewish robot tailor scene from ’Sleeper". I laughed so hard I almost pished in my pants !! My uncle was in the ‘schmatta’ business.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Be sure to wear red or you’ll get pinched. And drink red beer.

At that price, it’s a steel.

Whew…he doesn’t have to be so abrasive.
