WD-40

[TheMercenary]

I thought this was pretty cool...

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for
A rust preventative solvent and de greaser to protect
Missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three
Technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its
name comes from the project that was to find a'water
displacement' compound. They were successful with the
fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company
bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is
nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you...' IT IS MADE FROM
FISH OIL' . When you read the 'shower door' part, try it.
It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty
shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as
glass. It is a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... It
is now shinier than it has ever been before.

That's just what you say when caught lubricating a cow with WD-40...

Don't use it on guns except for topical cleaning. It leaves a sticky residue as it dries out.

Works well as a laxative. And the red tube thingy also makes it an effective method for cleaning your ears.

If the party is lollygagging, toss a can into the fire barrel.

Spray a liberal coat in your bathtub prior to mother-in-law visits.
