Thread Name: BS: Help! Bed Squeaks
Subject: RE: BS: Help! Bed Squeaks
Yo Khanny,

Sorry to hear (no pun intended) about yer little problem. Most of the time when folks get around yer age they got the opposite problem...

...but, SRS is completely correct!

WD-40 or CRC will only make the situation worser. Them stuff is like cutting oils and have no lasting positive effect but make the situation worse. Get some lithium white grease an' squirt that stuff on and it will stay there...

(Khanny asks, "But, Bobert, how will I know which spring it is that is squeakin' while I'm the source of the squeak?)

Well, good question. Now ya got two choices. Both require: you, yer lady and a trusted friend. The first is for you and yer lady to take care of business on top of the bed while yer trusted friend is under the bed with the spary can of lithium grease and the second...

...swap places with yer trusted buddy...

Best of luck to ya, pal, an' if yer lookin' fir a trusted buddy, don't call me. I ain't into them things....

Bobert
