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

Issue #582

Polywater F® optic cable pulling lubricant, the most popular and widely used in the world, has been proven in the installation of over 140,000,000 meters of cable, or 84,000 miles. That's enough to wrap around the world more than three times.

The Polywater F product flyer, as last revised, claims that this premier fiber optic cable pulling lubricant--the most popular and widely used in the world--has been "Proven in the Installation of Over 40,000,000 Meters of Fiber Cable." That claim is out of date. A quick update of the math now puts usage at closer to 140,000,000 meters of cable pulling distance. That equates to roughly 84,000 miles. The Earth's circumference is slightly less than 25,000 miles around. This means that Polywater F has lubricated enough fiber cable to wrap around the entire world three times--and still have 9,000 miles to spare! Now, the distance between Minneapolis, MN and Green Bay, WI is 261 miles, or 522 miles roundtrip. 9,000 spare miles divided by 522 equals approximately 17 roundtrips. That's the equivalent of Brett Favre pulling cable back and forth from Lambeau Field to beat the Packers 17 more years in a row! This is not good news for Green Bay, because by then Brett will only be 57 and we'll have sold even more Lube F, just extending his streak.

Polywater's web presence is far-reaching and often results in many requests for quote from far-away locales ... sometimes for far-fetched purposes.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

Stay ! I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the local shopping center and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Labrador retriever puppy had fresh air. She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there. I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay! Stay!" The driver of a nearby car--a pretty young blonde woman--gave me a strange look and said, "Why don't you just put it in park?"
