As vaseline is petroleum based it can catch alight, not that you would probably go waving a naked flame around, but we do not use it for our patients in hospital if they are on oxygen due to the risks of fire (sounds weird, but its true), just to bear it in mind if you have a conversion with a cooker !!

Oh no they're not, but, probably, neither is the roof seal :D

:shock: Didn't know that John,what are they made of?! :?
Usually Butyl, it's another by-product of oil - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyl_rubber

Japanese crash helmet makers aria supply a tiny bottle of silicon drops to apply to the rubber visor seal to beep it from sticking and from perishing - maybe a silicon product could be used on the roof seal :-k

Just don't use it if you intend to get the paintwork sprayed in the near future or it'll react :shock:

highrover wrote:Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck, until one day;
he comes across a "Harley" with a "For Sale" sign on it.
The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 Years old.

It is shiny and in absolute mint condition. He immediately buys it, and
asks the seller, how he kept it in such a great condition for 10 years.
"Well, it's quite simple, really," says the seller, "Whenever

the bike is outside and it's going to rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome.
It protects it from the rain." And he hands Joe a jar of Vaseline.

That night, his girlfriend, Sandra, invites him over, to meet her
parents. Naturally, they take the bike there.


But just before they enter the house, Sandra stops him and says: "I have
to tell you something about my family before we go in.
"When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person, who says
anything during dinner, has to do the dishes."
"No problem," he says. And in they go.
Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room, is a Huge
stack of dirty dishes. In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes.
Piled up on the
stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, - dirty dishes.


They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word. As dinner
progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation.
So he leans over and kisses Sandra. No one says a word. So he reaches
over and fondles her breasts.


Still, nobody says a word. So he stands up, grabs her, rips her clothes
off, throws her on the table, and screws her right there, in front of
her parents.
His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid,


And her mom horrified, when he sits back down, but no one says a word.


He looks at her mom. "She's got a great body," he thinks. So, he grabs
the mom, bends her over the dinner table, and has his way with her, every
which way right there on the dinner table. Now, his girlfriend is furious
and her dad is boiling, but still, total silence.


All of a sudden, there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain.


Joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket.


Suddenly the father backs away from the table and shouts: "All right,
that's enough, I'll do the f*cking dishes!!!'
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.
