Please don't tell Billy i'm posting this thread without his knowledge....OOOUUEEE. Billy the not so dumb Red Neck has really ripped his britches with this one. He thought he'd splaned it clearly. Never having used it, he asked his better half to order him some Krytox for testing purposes. Then proceeded to the shop to cut a new Major Weggie for the testing. Anxiously awaiting the sound of the USPS Jeep coming down the ungraded dirt road the big day finally arrived. With the unbridled splendor of a child on Christmas morning he sashayed his big dumb self out to meet the lady at the box. With package in hand he began the trek back to the shop, without missing a step, he even stepped over his coon dog with an eye crouton and infected ear that was laying across the path. He whipped out his Arkansas tooth pick (in Arkansas we call it a tooth pick, most other parts of the country y'all call it a teeth pick) and with reckless abandon he commenced to tear away at the Priority Mail package. Without reading the label he OR the instructions he applied the one small drop on each wheel/axle in it's appropriate location and wiped off the excess like a certain someone on this forum splaned it. Gapped the wheels, with his NEW much thinner gap tool, gave em a spin or two and placed the Weggie on his test track starting gate. He went in for lunch and made hisself a mater sammich. After his sammich and nap he waddled back to the shop with the need for speed. He goes straight for the juggler and flipped the latch on the starting gate.....NOTHING....NOTTA, the car just sat there. Billy says what tha.....I thought this stuff was the real huck-em-puck. NOW he reads the label and instructions. Immediately, realizing he'd made a grave err and with the possibility of Momma never hearing the word Krytox he had misunderestimated his better half's understanding of what to order and it was his fault. The label read Botox not KRYTOX. Obviously the misuse or misapplication of either product other than it's prescribed usage or confusing one for the other will lead to less than stellar results and be hazardous to ones health. And Billy thought Krytox was expensive !! Sidebar: If you consider buying Botox you may wanna sing up for a Groupon....jus sayin'
Since this is under General Pinewood Derby Discussion I don't wanna leave y'all without something useful. As a suggestion, be certain, if you ask someone to order something for your PWD car.......Don't splane it where it can be understood but splane it to where it cannot be misunderstood or misunderestimated. Better yet WRITE IT DOWN !! You don't wanna end up like Billy with an occasionally politically incorrect and consistently dysfunctional family. As Billy would say......be sure to tip your waitress......RRR
