My sister-in-law sent us a list of exactly what WD-40 can do for you. She says that the main ingredient in the stuff is fish oil! Fish oil plus other things, so don't go spraying it in your mouth everyday for extra Omega 3's in your system.

Pretty cool, huh. Who knew?
Anyway, after perusing the list, I find that there were some things missing, or maybe things that 'I' think are missing.
Such as....
1. Spray WD-40 on a sink full of dishes and they will wash themselves and dry themselves in 45 seconds or less.
2. Spray it on your tax returns and you will get a larger refund.
3. Use a few spritz's for hairspray and your hair will never frizz up when it's raining out.
4. Spray it around yourself when you are walking in the rain and you will stay dry and not get pissed off.
5. Spray it on your tummy and it will tighten up flat a a board. (or not...)
6. Spray it under your beds and couches and it will keep the dust bunnies out.
7. Spray it on your birth certificate and it will subtract 15 years or so from your birthdate.
And in my book, the best one....8. Spray it on a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait and all the calories will be removed.
But of course, they'd have to rename the stuff to be WD 50 or 60 ....probably.
