We'd be stuck with WD-39 and real lubricants. It would be a rustier world,
but hinges probably would last longer.

Yeah, but WD-40 is great for other uses, I'd hate to not have it in my
arsenal.

It's a great degreaser, great on electrics, and lets you use regular
sandpaper on metal as 'wet' sandpaper.

A great fish attractant but illegal in most areas.

Umm, in a world where do-it-yourselfers that know the difference
between a solvent and a lubricant?

Jeez, what kind of fish is that? Cuyahoga salmon? g

I'll bet the fish that lived in that river in 1969 thrived on WD-40. Well,
actually no fish lived in the river. Only one species of brown algae, which
lived only on pilings and rocks that got some air. The river was entirely
anaerobic, which really slowed down the decay of humans and other animals,
but it made them really stink bad. Fortunately, the only animals of any kind
in that river were ones that fell in or were pushed. One whiff of it could
make you swoon.

How close is your shop to the Cuyahoga?

Nah, it's the water displacing bit of the formula:-

Spray WD39 on lake.

Water runs away.

Collect dry, oily fish from dry, oily mud.

Excellent! That's better than Clorox in a trout stream. d8-)

Cleans dirt off of machines fairly well. Cleans gummy WD-40 off really good.

If you'd lived in western Maryland in the '50s, you'd also know about
bush-bobbin', juggin' with a whole *case* of beer bottles, dippin', and a
few other tricks that would make the sporting hairs on your neck curl up.

Here in NJ, the standard trout-fishing tool used throughout much of the
Appalachians -- a half-stick of dynamite -- was a little too loud,
considering the population density. So they developed Clorox fishing.

You block off the downstream end of a trout pool with a piece of hardware
cloth, walk up to the head of the pool, and pour in a gallon of Clorox. The
trout can't breathe with the chlorine in the water and they float belly-up
into the hardware cloth.

It was quite popular here with the poachers, until the late '50s.

My life would not be any differant, It has been years since I bought a can
of WD-40. If I need a solvent cleaner, I buy a solvent cleaner, if I want a
lubricant I buy LPS. Penetrant, Kroil, or PB.
WD-40 is not much more than good advertising as far as I am concerned!
