Thank god for nose grease!

But seriously, fat is the enemy of bubbles where something other than fat is holding the air, like meringue, or beer foam.

Nose grease is great because it is always close to hand, unlike commercial lubricants.

This is without a doubt THE strangest thing i have ever seen in this forum...

I just can't see whatever is on your nose being any different than whats on your hands to begin with... Sweat.

Nose grease, to keep your blade keen,
it's always right handy, and full of squalene.
With a natural lubricant we have been blessed,
Just scoop up a finger full, give it a test.

Nose grease, they say it's the best
for putting your rusting-up worries to rest.
Just give it a try and you'll see what I mean,
Recycle some oil from the front of your bean.

Nose grease, they claim that it's swell,
right next to the organ that you use to smell.
It's handy, organic, and sits on your face,
until application to a rust-likely place.

This is all well and good when you're fishing alone,
and the nose grease you've got is the grease of your own.
But if you run out and reach out to a friend,
his nose grease is something he'll fight to defend.

So listen up, brothers, and listen up good -
'cause I know that you're eager to do what you should.
To avoid the hard feelings, don't step out of line,
just use your own nose grease and things will go fine.

back in the day when fishing rods were 2 piece metal ferrules, the trick to ensure they would seperate after use was to rub a litle "nose grease" on the ferrule
 
I read about this trick a while back in a knife magazine, and I thought the author was . . . well, let's just say I didn't think it was a very bright idea at all, at least for a knife you want to preserve for future use.

From my coin collecting days growing up, you didn't touch any part of a coin, if it could be avoided, for the reason that oils & fluids from your skin eventually discolor & ruin the surface.

I just wipe down & oil (with 3-in-1) the blade or blades I've used the first chance I get.

thx - cpr

Back in the old days of film cameras and dark rooms, I worked a lot developing, enlarging, and printing film. Nose grease was an absolute necessity and the best thing obtainable for filling/covering scratches in negatives. Kid you not.
 
"So, young fella, you want to apply for a job here at CW4 photographic labs, huh? Well, let's look at your qualifications. Education, check. Experience, check. Good work ethic and attitude, check. Nose grease. Hmmmm, no nose grease? Son, without nose grease you wouldn't make it through the first day.

I'm sorry, but perhaps you can find work as a stockbroker or garbageman or something."

If you watch a tailor cutting out fabric, one of the things they do is rub the back of their head with their shears. Since they typically use huge (12-15" blades) shears, it's rather alarming.
 
So when I was taking the little qualifying course for using the Caltech Physics Department machine shop the supervisor said you should always use some lubrication on your drill bits. For a single small hole through sheet aluminum you should at least use some nose grease. He would stroke the end of the drill bit over the greasiest part of the side of the nose and then buzz a hole in some aluminum. I use it often for that.
 
grandpa used to repair all the electronics for the catholic schoolboard and he told me that old time watch repairer's used nose grease to lube the intricate moving parts and gears because it was very light and did not gum up. No petrol oil back in the pocketwatch days of old.
