Brevity by Dan Thompson for June 10, 2012

You forgot to say ‘to drive’.

Maybe, but I bet this was harder to get… :D :D :D

Looks like a barrel of laughs, though…

Why would she want a Mini when she already has a Growler?

He’s just trying to stave money.

This new car will be a four barrel.

(Is there a part of the barrel that is called a bow?)

Looked it up. No bow found; but there is a bung hole.

At least it matches his twelve inch pianist.

Buying a human is much more expensive than buying a car, and more difficult too since it’s illegal.

Firkin heck!

(I’ll go ahead and spell it out…) Very clever, relying on but not being explicit about the common noun “cooper” referring to a barrel-maker.

Well, I had to Google Mini Cooper to understand the reference, and I thought, “I wonder how many others had to Google cooper to get the connection”.

More fun than a barrel of puns…able to leap tall gerbils in a single bound…more powerful than half a stick of gum…it’s BREVITY!

do you know a little German?

Cooper is a character in Norm Feuti’s comic strip Retail over at Daily Ink.

I’m jest glad she didn’t want a mini-pearl – they’re even harder to find now-days . . . ☻

Similar take-offs occur to me, e.g. Are the places where flour is made at night equipped with Miller Lights?

Shave his head and tattoo a British flag on his noggin and call it good….

I don’t think blondes typically have Growlers, that’s generally associated with dark hair……..On the other hand, I am so glad to see another funny Brevity. I’ve been missing this for a bit.
