Aluminum and Copper cartoon

Chemically-Dependent by Richard Furlough (richardfurlough@yahoo.com). Block of aluminum talking to a block of copper over coffee and donuts. Aluminum says, “Lately I feel so dull and lackluster. And I’ve got some scratches around my eyes and some dents in my backside. Any suggestions?” Copper responds, “Why don’t you go for an oxide peel at that new spa downtown? And they can buff out those scratches and maybe hammer out those dents.” Caption: Beauty secrets of the metallic world.
