Don't Try this at Home

They say, don't try this at home, so maybe you are supposed to do it at work.

I am not even clicking on that link. My son is using the pressure washer as a Super Soaker as we speak...

Okay, so he is also cleaning Erin's playhouse and watersealing it, but he does have a capacity for mayhem as well as charity.

Unfortunately, Emma heard it being talked about on the radio and thought it was cool.

This makes me ill.

Shall we start the countdown until the first homeless vagrant is incinerated by bored 14-year-olds?

I found out firsthand how flammable WD-40 is.

My hair and eyelashes eventually grew back. :(

I use WD-40 as a lubricant when I change golf grips. Never thought about it being so flammable.

And what was wrong with WD-39???????

I don't know, but it really was the 40th formula tried.

I do have to wonder what happened to the people who tried Preparation G.

If it was anything like WD-40, it explains why there are so many flaming ...

I'm rather fond of the Formula 409 commercial - the one where a janitor finds a bottle of Formula 410 and sprays it; the formula eats a hole in the wall to the surprise of a technician on the other side. The tagline is something like, "Because the world isn't ready for Formula 410."

Different product, but my new favorite commercial is for American Express, where the people go out for the night, and the kitchen utensils and appliances get to play. The funniest shot is the knives on the couch watching Psycho, all huddled together and quivering when they see the knife onscreen.
