That's true. Otherwise there'd be no point in not doing it.

OK, there are three, belive it or not:
1: A guy at Uni was making homebrew, and I was invited to the grand opening of the keg. Turning up late, there were about 10 people already there, and the brewer said that they'd all pay me £2 if I downed the pint he was holding. Turned out it was full of yeast. So I spent three hours the next day on the bog clutching my £20 note.
2: 'Shotto', the infamous Birmingham University drinking challenge involves cocktail creation from a shot of vodka and another mixer. So a 'Shotto Orange' would be a fairly sociable-type screwdriver. After a few hours playing this and having worked our way through such delights as 'Shotto Baked Beans' and 'Shotto Tuna Juice', I was bet £10 that I couldn't hold down a 'Shotto WD40'. I did.
3: I'd just come back from a sociable evening out with some friends when this girl remarked: "Oh, I've left the onion rings on". "When did you put them in?" we asked. "5pm" was the answer (it was about 11pm at the time). Legging it downstairs, she returned with a baking tray holding six circular lumps of charcoal. Just then, this voice pipes up from the corner. "Bet you £20 you can't eat all those, Ben." Was I one to turn down that sort of challenge? Not at all, and done so with the help of a mere single can of Carling.

It's motor oil.
Meant to be taken internally by engines.
Not meant to be taken internally by humans.

It's a type of de-grease/lubricant solution you spray (?) on things like door hinges and engines and stuff.

Lady Scott Posted Jan 7, 2003
Oops, yes, you're right Caf - I was thinking of 40 weight motor oil.
Still fairly early here, not thinking as clearly as I could... 
But the fact that it's not meant to be taken internally by humans still stands.

Hmmm...you're probably right. Didn't seem to do me any harm, though.

s'late here, I'm not thinking as clearly as I should
WD40 smells *so* good! It's like those permanent markers, but better!

maybe someone should add it's use as a mixer to the entry...
the perils of smelly toxins
broelan Posted Jan 7, 2003
it's one of those eerie 'gross but kinda cool' scents like gasoline or striking a match (obviously not at the same time)...
and of course they make deliberately scented markers as well that smell like licorice or oranges or mint. those are really gross

I agree.
I love the smell of burning matches.
That thing with gasoline and matches reminds me of Zoolander- anyone seen it?

See - there you go! With the help of alcohol Master B has become a human garbage disposal. A skill which I am sure will look good on a future resume and attract skads of women to him! Make sure you tell them you drink WD-40, they'll be really impressed! Of course - don't let the fact that it's carcinogenic slow you down...

On the previous conversation: If I go out I often drink, usually quite a lot. Sometimes I don't, but that's pretty rare. But I don't drink at home
Haven't had more than about five pints in three or four weeks now...
