Okay, I've seen the cartoons, I even visited the gallery of the absurd (some of which was pretty darn funny, by the way), and now I have to ask...Just how do you find all this stuff? (Perhaps a better question would be why?)

Actually, it's a proclivity ( http://www.dictionary.com/ ).

I've been interested in wierd stuff (Go ahead! TRY to think up a better name!) for most of my life. I suppose you get a feel for this stuff after awhile.

Now if only I could find a job that uses my unique talents...?

I think I know that girl.

Like I said, it's pig lubricant. Pigs can squeak, can't they?

But, as for the "penetrate" part... *won't even go there*

Seems I have to forget everything I've heard about political correctness. Now that I have understood what lubricant has to do with pigs, I don't dare to make a suggestion about "*penetrates* and lubricates"

"Penetrating oil" is a common term for light machine oil that is intended for uses such as loosening rusty bolts, quietening squeaky hinges, etc. It's also known as 3-in-one oil (penetrates, quiets, protects), but that might be a copyrighted brand name.
