An Amusing Use for WD40

Here’s a great client story from many years ago:

Bob comes in and tells me I got him in trouble. 
He said his wife is furious at him. 
Bob struggled with his mobility, to say the least, so I would always tease him that he just needed some WD40 to grease his joints. 
He goes on to tell me that his mother-in-law who was in her eighties would call the house and constantly complain about how her old joints would ache. So what does he tell her? 
“Just put some WD40 on it!”

Well, one day Bob’s wife gets off the phone with her mom and screams at him, “What the hell did you tell my mother???”. 
“Why, what are you talking about?” was Bob’s puzzled reply.
“My mother just got back from the doctor and has rashes all over her body. Apparently she’s been rubbing WD40 all over her body and she said you told her to do it!”
You can make stuff like that up.

Special Bonus of Useless Information: Did you know how WD40 got its name? Norm Larsen, founder of Rocket Chemical Company, is considered the original founder of WD40. Larsen aimed to develop a line of rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the aerospace industry. After 39 failures at the formula, he succeeded at the goal, Water Displacement, on the 40th attempt, hence the name, which literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula.
