I'M A PETROPHILE, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS

WAL-MART SEX OIL SALES SKYROCKET: K-Y Product Lines Heat Up in Middle America (Drudgereport, 10/13/05)

That sex sells comes as no surprise. That it's now selling quite nicely at Wal-Mart Stores -- the naughty-magazine-yanking retail nanny -- may come as a shock, AD AGE reports. . . .

J&J has found warming lubricants sell well not only for Valentine's Day but also around Memorial Day and Fourth of July. "We dubbed these sex holidays," Mr. Peterson said. "And we try to line up all our promotional efforts around them."

The Fourth of July? Memorial Day?

"The Fourth of July?"

Lie back and think of America.

The Statue of Liberty doesn't get anyone else all hot and bothered?

If you have something for really tall, green women who probably speak French. Besides, due to safety considerations, the National Parks Service won't let you climb around inside her dress anymore.

As for Wal-Mart, it may depend where they're selling the K-Y Jelly at in the Supercenter. If it's anywhere near the automotive or hardware sections, people may be using it to lube up their boat trailers or loosen up their stuck barbeque grills for the holiday weekend.
