WD40 -- keeping the public from snorting cocaine off toilet lids in bars.

[cjolley]

But WTF????

The makers of the handy spray lubricant WD-40 proudly list 2,000 uses for their product, from unsticking rusty screws or squeaky bicycle chains to polishing frying pans.

But British police have found another -- keeping the public from snorting cocaine off toilet lids in bars.

We normally used Cooking spray at the bar I worked at.. I still managed to catch 30+ people doing it, over the time I worked there

Don't they bring their own mirror or something? I sure wouldn't sniff from a public toilet seat! Anyway, WD40 is a lubricant - does that mean my legs get oily when I use a sprayed toilet?

we mostly sprayed the top of the toilet tanks and the toilet paper holders.. guys "missing" made the seat itself a bad choice for sniffing in the first place

Police in the English city of Bristol said Tuesday they have been advising pub and nightclub owners to spray the colorless lubricant on toilet seats and other flat surfaces in the lavatory that customers often use to snort drugs

This means that on the weekend I was most likely particularly well oiled. Bugger.

Perhaps the police finds the presence of a mirror suspicious...?
"Hmm, that guy has a mirror, he must be sniffing drugs"

Reminds me of a Durex add here...

You see a junction with traffic lights, and and hear the noise of a small moped (boy at the wheel, girl sitting behind him). The moped stops at the red light. Suddenly, the light turns green, the moped takes of and the girl slides of the back of it... (the commercial is for Durex with lubricant)


Wasn't WD40 the code of Dick Steele, in the movie Spy Hard?
