Default Arthritis Cure?

Gents,

My dear father-In-Law, a chemical engineer and retired school teacher ( so he should know better ) found that when WD-40 was massaged into sore elbows that it made him feel better. Very proud of his 'dscovery' he dashed off a letter to the manufacturers letting them know of the wonder capabilities of the product.

He was disappointed to get a sternly worded letter back from the lawyers informing him that the product was for moisture displacing and loosening stuck screws - and was NOT to be applied to the skin. They added ( probably correctly ) that the substance was also NOT to be taken internally.

As Patrick, and every Canadian kid with an old snowmobile knows, the bestest ( and most dangerous ) use for a compressed flammable liquid sold without regard to anybody is the good old fashioned flamethrower. No frosty carb can resist the warming effects of a WD-40 torch. No snowmobile suit either, but that is another story.

PS - don't drink and sled


I don't know what is worse - a snowmobile that won't go because it's too cold, or a Carrier that won't go because it's too hot.
