Someone else must have noted this by now, but as I was washing out the dogs' dishes I thought, "Holy Toledo! These are slicker than a politician caught playing footsie in the men's room!" If there had been the same amount of dog spit on the outside of the dishes as there was on the inside, (for instance if I had a bloodhound or a St. Bernard) I don't think I could have even picked them up. They would have squirted across the room at Warp 6 and banged against the wall.
After washing them with dish soap they still had a good coating of Speed Slime on them and I had to break out the Brillo pad.
Sofia sniffed her dish very suspiciously when she was presented with it all clean and shiny. However, a dab of salmon oil will persuade the most finicky dog to eat.
Honest, I wash their dishes every week. I just hadn't been using a steel wool pad!
What other uses could this new lubricant have?
We could coat money with it. Bank employees would have a very hard time smuggling it. And we'd all have an excuse as to why we are always broke. "I don't know, honey, it just seems to slip through my fingers!"
Cross-country skiing could be a lot easier, but going uphill could be impossible.
I'd like to see how my transmission and differential work with this lubricant.
Then there is the world of "personal" lubricants....
...and I think I'd better stop right there!
