A mechanic was working under a car. Some brake fluid dripped into his mouth.
“It tasted pretty good,“ he told his buddy the next day. “I think I’ll have more.“

Days later, he was up to a bottle of brake fluid a day.

His friend was concerned. This was turning into an addiction.

“That brake fluid is poison,“ he said. “You should really stop drinking it.“

“It’s no problem,“ the mechanic said firmly. “I can stop any time.

I dunno.  That stuff’s addictive.  It can be a hard habit to brake.

I was going to pad this thread with a lot of silly puns, but I couldn’t drum up any interest.  Worse, I couldn’t think of any brake lines.
