If only... I found the WD40, the miracle lubricant of locks and bicycles, the renovator of garden implements, the curer of squeaks and groans. I bored a little hole just below my knee, where it grinds and crunches at the slightest bend. I eased in the delicate nozzle, then squeezed slowly, feeling the thin oil penetrate, sluice the dried bones, plump the desiccated ligaments, coat the flaccid muscles. I did the other one too, then tested them, swinging gently. There was no pain, no tautness, no ligamentous argument, no tendon screaming. Oiled, clean, smooth-running, agile and manoeuvrable, I sprinted up the hill.

If only! Not only would I lubricate all my joints, but I'd also put all my money in shares for the stuff.

Do you seal up the little bored hole with duct tape? ;-)

A dream come true! And no doctor's bill, either!
