    I swear every time my spouse tries to use wd40 I have a stroke. We have several kinds of specific lubes for different situations ffs, all in the same easy to access bin, stop trying to use wd40 as a catch all super lube that’s not how it works.

    People don’t send letters much anymore but please don’t lick the envelopes. Just dip a finger in water. Just as easy, less germy, and doesn’t cause a lingering chemical taste.

    Nobody seems to understand how to use dental dams. Look it up, stay safe people.

            Both have been used at different times so the words are effectively interchangeable. However I’d also like to point out that in my example specifically duct tape is the proper word to use as that’s how it is used in Red Green:

              As a huge fan of ol’ Green (born & raised Michigander), and I don’t recall him ever using it on ducting, yet I can easily remember a plethora of examples where he used it for its hydrophobic sealing properties.

        It’s so sad stamps don’t need to be licked anymore.

        Nothing beats a licked envelope followed by a stamp chaser.

          Do you let out an airy ‘aaah, yep’ and slap the envelope onto the table, too? I just kinda want to see someone exasperated and hunched over a USPS counter being like ‘another!’ as they pull letters out one at a time and the register worker hands them just a single envelope and stamp each time.

        I guess I could see them being tasty if you’ve got the palette of an 80 year old smoker who grew up eating poverty suspended in aspic.

      Casually suggest using WD40 as lube for the next sexy time. When they say “what,” you can say “why not? You use it for everything else.” Maybe it’ll click.

      Of course, this advice may negatively impact this, and possibly several future potential sexy times, but it’s a small sacrifice if it keeps people from using god damned WD40 as a fucking lube.

      Dental dams.

      I know what it is yet never found it selling.

      Licking envelopes.

      There was a time when the glue was somewhat sweet. I grew out of it quick enough - wasn’t willing to stick paper in my mouth - but not quick enough to not build that memory.

      WD40

      It has a very wide range of uses but there is a limit for it.

          I have tmj and so my jaw can lock shut sometimes. WD40 can be used to quickly un-seize my jaw so I can get some proper lube in there and keep enjoying what’s on the other side of a dental dam.
