In today’s Zippy, our Pinhead falls into reveries of word association, prompted by the flatiron in his hand:
Not ironic words, but ferrous words, which takes us into the world of Ferris wheels, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Ferris mowers, Ferris State (in Big Rapids MI), Tim Ferris (the self-help writer and entrepreneur), Ferris TX and Ferris IL, Southern folklorist Bill Ferris (former chairman of the NEH), and from there we could branch into ferries and fairies and all sorts of good stuff.
Meanwhile, from percolate and percale, we can get all the perks available to those who only stand and iron.
