Some of these old jokes have been known to
backfire on the
originator. Case in point: sending some out for
5 gallons of
"Prop Wash" or a "Sky Hook". Both of these items
exist.
Prop wash is a commercial cleaner for the old
Hamilton variable
pitch wooden props. A sky hook is the name given
the large steel
ball with a hook through the center used on a
crane.
