Why is it.................?

[.:4:.]

Why is it, when on the phone to my brother about other things, once that conversation was over, he tells me that he needs a wire brush and his local bunnings dont stock them. To be fair his local bunnings is the smallest in the bunnings universe so dont stock much.
My suggestion off the bat was a wire brush bbq tool thing, or steel wool from under the sink. Both of which can be purchased cheap from the local supermarket if he doesnt have them. Apparently that was a great idea.
But the real why is, why was i told the story of what needed rusticles removed and of not being able to find a wire brush. If i was after an epic tale, I'd start reading novels.
