Nancy had a customer today at Lowe's (she works in the tools/hardware department) that wanted wax for the nuts he was assembling on threaded rod. She didn't know what the heck he was talking about -- not a thread lube, not anti-seize, not LocTite, she established. The guy went on to say that the wax - which he didn't describe any better than that - was sort of "old school". So youse guys are sort of old school, too -- maybe even older
Did you ever hear of wax for the threads? What do you think the guy wanted?
In the meantime -- Nancy reports that she was sort of unsure how to respond at first when this guy/customer walked up to her and said "I want to wax my nuts". 
How'd you feel if your wife brought a story like that home from work?
Heck, that's not old school - that's
ONE ROOM SCHOOL.
Old farmer trick - keeps the threads on the lugs from seizing up, and makes it easier to get your nuts off.
Sell the guy a candle.
As to what I would do in that situation - it's simple -
You look her straight in the eyes and say,
"Honey, you're a pretty girl, and pretty girls always bring out the stupid in a boy."
Say it with conviction, and you might find that there's more than one way to wax a nut. . .
