I don't remember all who contributed to this way back when ... mollie, wilco, the peerless SusieQ, and names lost to time -- but I'm reviving it for nostalgia's sake. Well, that and I visited the Inappropriate Thrift Store yesterday. It's a regular thrift store, but everything just seems a little off, from the music they play (turns out, it takes about two choruses of "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" before I start snickering inappropriately) to the "Women's Bottoms" sign posted over the skirts and pants. So, here's the fascinating product that started it all, the multi-purpose General Lubricant, WD-40 (its size appears to be reduced -- clicking with the hand will enlarge it ) That's right, it cleans & protects, loosens rusted parts, AND frees sticky mechanisms! According to the official site's FAQ's, it also penetrates and lubricates. What *doesn't* it do? Don't forget their other fabulous inventions, the Smart Straw ("Simply flip it up for a precision stream") and the No-Mess Pen (works like regular WD-40 but "without messy overspray and with minimal odor!"). What intriguing song lyrics, informative signage or surprising wonder products have you encountered in your travels? DISCLAIMER: One or more Mods were seen in the original version of this thread, which automatically means it does not violate any guidelines. Just discussing everyday things we see around town ....

When they're up to WD 69 perhaps I'll think about it in those terms.

WD-40 should be sold in the feminine hygiene section.

My two most favorite signs from where I live: This one unfortunately went away when the beauty shop it belonged to went out of business, but I never failed to laugh to myself when I saw it: "Haircuts while you wait" Think about it. "No, I'd like mine while I go on my daily 2 mile run." My second favorite sign is still there, on the front of the famous landmark "Chamblin's Book Mine", the sprawling, multi-building used bookstore to end all used bookstores: "(Books) New, Used, Rare and Non-existent" Non-existent books? Which section do I find those in?

A motto worthy of a life purpose..."If it moves and shouldn't, you need duct tape. If is should move, but won't, you need WD-40"

When they're up to WD 69 perhaps I'll think about it in those terms. they have a new formula for 'special' occassions.... WD 40 BD! i'll let you guess what the BD stands for. it's helpful for those that like HRA... ;-) JEFF: PM me and I'll explain it!

You know what they say--the way to a woman's heart is through the left ventricle.
