    Looks like a barrel of laughs, though…

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

    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.

    (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!

    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?

    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.
