I received this in my E-Mail
this morning...
although I thought it was "interesting"
I do NOT "endorse" OR suggest that Any of the below USES
are TRUE or "recommended".
( You are ON YOUR OWN
on this one Kid! There are NO
"Guarantees" can you "hear me"..

THOUGHT
YOU GUYS AND GALS MIGHT ENJOY READING THIS...
ALSO MIGHT LEARN A
NEW USE...
WD-40
Most people know that men only need duct tape and WD-40 to fix anything.
Here's the scoop on WD-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. The workers were so pleased with the product, they began
smuggling (also known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at
home. The executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and
put it in aerosol cans. The rest, as they say, is history.
It is a carefully guarded recipe known only to four people. Only one of
them is the "brew aster." There are about 2.5 million gallons of the
stuff manufactured each year. It gets its distinctive smell from a
fragrance that is added to the brew. Ken East says there is nothing in
WD-40 that would hurt you.
(Note: WHO is KEN
EAST ?)

One fellow claims spraying it on

WD-40 has been designated the "official multi-purpose problem-solver of
NASCAR," a ringing endorsement if there ever was one.
I told my NASCAR
loving Sons about this,
and they said they couldn't imagine how WD-40
can solve the Jeff Gordon problem.
( OK, WHAT'S a
"NASCAR" ?? ... or a "Jeff Gordon" ?? )
In Celebration of their 50th Year, the Company conducted a Contest to
learn the favorite uses of it's Customers and Fan Club Members,
( They never ask ME
... )
(Yes,
there is a WD-40 Fan Club).
( I MUST "join"
THIS Club ...
so I too can
"belong" ... somewhere ...
)
They compiled the Information to identify the favorite use in each of
the 50 States.
( Not in Alberta
... )
Naturally I was curious about Georgia and Alabama and
found the favorite use in both States was that it
"penetrates stuck Bolts, Lug Nuts, and Hose ends."
( What about
Alberta??? )
Florida's favorite use was
"cleans and
removes Love Bugs from Grills and Bumpers."
( Ahhh ... What
about "Politicians" ... and you thought I forgot about them ... didn't ya...
smile ! )
California's favorite use was penetrating the
Bolts on the Golden Gate
Bridge.
( "Penetrating the
Bolts huh?? What about the NUTS ??? ... )
Let me close with one final, wonderful use--the favorite use in the
State of New York:
WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the Elements.
No wonder they have had 50 successful Years.
( THAT settles it
... I NEED some Protection from the "ELEMENTS" ... OFF to Costco I go ... !!!
"Actually"
This whole thing sounds like a bit of a SALES PITCH to me, don't ya THINK ???

Remember
" Smiles
