Dicky Coupling and Monkey Butt

Speaking of pictures from the auction of my grandfather's junk yard business ...

I found this one sent to me by my uncle, Michael Westhoff, who is a freelance photographer.

I remember when we found this can, buried beneath a heap o' junk. We giggled and giggled and giggled some more.

What in the world was Dickey Lubricant Compound for Dickey Coupling?

This picture reminded me straight away of another one shot by yet another freelance photographer, Mark Trockman, a man that I work with to cover assignments for a local newspaper.

The other week, while touring a newly-opened tool store in my neck of the woods, Mark snapped this picture of a product called Anti Monkey Butt with me in the background laughing.

You've got appreciate the wonders of modern marketing. Still though, I'm not really sure I know what Dicky Lubricant or Anti Monkey Butt do ...
