LONDON (Reuters) - The makers of the handy spray lubricant WD-40 proudly list 2,000 uses for their product, from unsticking rusty screws or squeaky bicycle chains to polishing frying pans.

...and now...use number 2001.

But British police have found another -- keeping the public from snorting cocaine off toilet lids in bars.

Ugh! I try to stay away from bar toilets as a rule, much less inhale something off of them.

Quote

Police in the English city of Bristol said Tuesday they have been advising pub and nightclub owners to spray the colorless lubricant on toilet seats and other flat surfaces in the lavatory that customers often use to snort drugs.

Apparently, cocaine and spray lube don't mix.

"A chemical reaction takes place with the cocaine that causes it to congeal and become a mess so it's unusable," a police spokesman said. "It's one very small, very cheap way in which you can very seriously restrict the amount of drug use in your premises."

The new use seems to have taken its makers by surprise.

"Its not meant to be ingested. It says so clearly on the can so we wouldn't advocate it for that purpose. But people will use it how they will," said a British spokeswoman for the San Diego, Calif-based WD-40 Co.

WD-40 and duct tape -- the toolkit of the universe

If it doesn't move and needs to, spray it with WD-40.

If it moves and shouldn't, wrap it in duct tape.

Problems solved.

If it moves and shouldn't, wrap it in duct tape.

And if you need to make it move, use either a hammer or a large pair of channel lock pliers.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

They will be out of business as soon as the makers of Kroil can drop their price per can.

sure it does. take the duct tape and make a roomy little seal around the dent on the inside of the hood or trunk. spray the WD-40 inside the duct tape bubble and quickly ignite a spark. the contents of the bubble will rapidly expand/explode, thereby knocking the dent back out of the said metal sheet.

Just so you know, if there's any doubt, if you're not paying attention and you have the can of WD-40 pointed backwards and spray it directly into your eye...it hurts like a sumabitch.

I figured that one out when I was about 10 or so and decided to work on my bicycle.

OK, here we go, this is my "no shit, there I was" story and I am not repeating this, I was a witness.

When I was living in Texas I had this old crotchty fucker as a neighbor a few miles down the road. Old dude ALWAYS carried a can of WD 40 with him, he had them stashed all over the place and swore by it. This guy would tell you matter of factly that WD 40 fixed EVERYTHING to include medical ailments. I watched old boy on several occassions working on a piece of equipment and complain of his arthriis in his elbow acting up. He would pull one of those little cans out of his pocket and proceed to spray it on his elbow,flex it a few times and rub it and declare that it felt better. I even witnessed him apply it for a headache once. Well one day old guy is out working in the yard and he happened accross a rattlesnake(not uncommon in Texas) in his yard. He whipped the WD40 out and sprayed the rattler and it promptly took off. Old Boy sits down and writes to the makers of WD40 and tells his story how he uses WD40 for everything and how it saved his life. Sure as shit, a few weeks later 2 cases of the stuff show up in the mail on his porch with a note from the company thanking him for using their product. Old boy looked as happy as a kid in a candy store.

Naw, WD-39 was alien technology, WD-40 is our copy of it.

Use Crisco - a tub of Crisco goes a long way, plus you can get it on sale, every so often.
