	Friday Fax A Weekly Summary of Polywater^® News of Incredible Importance

Issue #537

APC provides rigorous and continuous training for its salespeople.

How does APC maintain its position as the technological leader in the field of cable pulling lubrication? It takes more than cloistering a ward-full of mad scientists in a secret laboratory and focusing them with Manhattan Project intensity on perfecting the slipperiest atom. It's about deploying the knowledge gained to the field. This is accomplished through rigorous and continuous training of our salespeople. As evidence, consider this recent invitation from APC's Lab to the salesforce: Do You Like to Play with Dry Ice? Where -- Polywater Laboratory. When -- Tuesday, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. Laboratory invites you to a training on the performance of wintergrade lubricants in cold weather. We will be reviewing the following points:

Show what a lubricant looks like as it freezes.

The difference between a temperature usage range and freeze point.

Differences in package size (quart to 5-gallon pail) and freeze/cold weather performance.

Compare thicker lubricant Polywater WJ to low viscosity Polywater WSPY as it freezes.

Review competitive wintergrade lubricants and claims.

Discuss cost/value of "winterizing" lubricants for more extreme conditions.

Extra! Extra! "Jeff Ericson to Wed; Single Women of the World Weep." It's true, one of the country's greatest eligible bachelors will finally succumb to the ball and chain next February 14, thereby removing himself forever from the free-range field of inter-gender play. The loss to women of this gift of the gods is APC's gain. It is expected that shortly after the honeymoon, Jeff's focus will shift from guns and fine cigars to reruns of Desperate Housewives and, inevitably, lots of overtime at the office. As a clue to just what kind of man the rest of the ladies are missing out on, recall that February 14 is Valentines Day. Jeff, you romantic devil! Condolences to extension #813.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

Jeff Foxworthy. You might live in Minnesota if ... 1) You consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through eighteen inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by. 2) You're proud that your state makes the national news ninety-six nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation. 3) You've ever refused to buy something because it's "too spendy". 4) Your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March. 5) Someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there. 6) Your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead. 7) You've worn shorts and a parka at the same time. 8) Your town has an equal number of bars and churches. 9) You know how to say Wayzata, Mahtomedi, Cloquet, Edina, and Shakopee. 10) You think that ketchup is a little too spicy. 11) Vacation means going "up north" for the weekend. 12) You measure distance in hours. 13) You know several people who have hit deer more than once. 14) You often switch from "Heat" to "A/C" and back again in the same day.
