grease worms

TraderMark · Mar 4, 2001

Is it just me or do any of you guys think there is such a thing as a grease worm. All I know is it seems like something gets into my grease gun and devours the grease. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I swear sometimes I can put in a fresh tube of grease, use a half dozen shots and the next time I want to use the gun, it's empty AGAIN.

Another of life's little mysteries, huh?

I think this is related to the overall toy rating; if one has a fancy pressure washer and likes to blow all that gube off his machine then it's definitely the grease gun. The only gun that is full is the one that can't be found cause it was left on top of the tire when.... the phone rang....beer needed to be refilled... wife yelled...etc SteveV

I understand that late at night, grease escapes to meet up with the socks that escaped from the dryer.

Oh my goodness! We had a red shop rag that snuck into a load of whites a few years ago! I really hate pink underwear /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif; at least on me that is /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

It might not be a worm.
Have you notice your tools etc.. You swear you put them away or should be right where you left them.
It maybe a friendly ghost giving you a helping hand. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

IMO, said ghosts being the local youngsters of the house! I've found tools scattered from he.. to well over there anyway. Kids do NOT return items to their proper places, as we have all found out when mowing. Have never figured out why half of my tools were needed to tighten a nut on a bicycle wheel. Of that half, 50 to 75% to make it back to the toolbox, somewhere.

Scruffy, I certainly had that problem with kids, but now that the kids have been grown and gone for a long time, I haven't found the ghost that's still doing the same thing./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
