So when I was young 7 or 8, my grandfather let my family borrow a few fishing rods for use on vacation. The day we went to get them from their house, he rigged a weight up to a line and showed us how to cast in the backyard. When he was done he took the two piece rods apart. Then something happened that stuck with me to this day. He took his finger and wiped it against his nose and then wiped the oil onto the smaller rod connection.
For years this puzzled me and struck me as odd. The truth is I always followed his example and did it more out of respect for the memory than for the practical utility of the action. That is until I read this article that talks about the unique properties of Nasal Sebum (my former pop-pop nose oil).
