Just learned of the death of an iconic American retailer. Robert J. Vlasic [freep.com] He wrote a book Bob’s 101 Pickle jokes. A preview of some: ”What do a bunch of soon-to-be pickles and a heavy pool stick have in common? You either have some cucumber or a cumbersome cue.”
”I watched a documentary last night about how pickles are made.
It was jarring.”

”My pickle order was totally under-cooked.
I got a really raw dill.”

”Why couldn’t the pickle leave the bar?
Because the door was ajar.”
