Not really funny stuff but useful.
This is some very useful info for WD-40!
I like number 39, makes sense after you read the very bottom.
Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient
of WD-40 is? Don't lie don't cheat. WD-40. Who knew? I had a neighbor
who bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw
that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige
truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told
him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to
do.... probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.
Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it
off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his
paint job that was on the truck.
I'm impressed!
WD-40 who knew? 'Water Displacement #40'. The product began from a
search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser 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. 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's a miracle! Then
try it on your stove top
... Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
WD-40 uses:
1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.

4. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps flies off cows.

18. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for
those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm
the finish and you won't have
to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some
windows if you have a
lot of marks.
19. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed
quickly! Use WD-40!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast
slide.

37. Florida 's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from
grills and bumpers.'
38. The favorite use in the state of New York , WD-40 protects the
Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you
will be catching the big one in no
time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are
made for just that purpose.
Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for
fishing are not allowed in some
states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and
stops the itch.
41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark
and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed
and dried a tube of lipstick
with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and
rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to
start.
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.
