    I’d swear I’ve seen Putzmeisters all up and down Montague, and a few over on the Promenade, too!

    What does a Putzmeister do? If you let it?

    german:

    putzen=cleaning
    Putz=plaster/plastering
    meister = master

    english: Putz
    1. Slang A fool; an idiot.
    2. Vulgar Slang A penis.

    Well, now its your pick what you want a putzmeister to do.

    I want it to eliminate fools. Or at least clean them.

    except that Putz is Yiddish for penis, you big putz! and i think the you need to schlep around your putzmeister will take care of all the unslightly schmegma from all the shtupping at the construction sites…

    Putz could be the new closer for the Mets.

    Hoppy: So I’ve read. Just think–the fans will have a ready-made insult every time he blows a save.

    I thought Putzmeister was an athlete who rises to success and riches only to shoot himself in the leg with an illegal gun and get arrested for it.
