Mayo Polish?

So, like I promised, I'm gonna write down some stories from my odd past jobs, one being a Seattle Childrens Carnival...

          For the last 5 years I haven't eaten mayo. Nothing with mayo or that had to do anything with mayo, even deviled eggs. The smell alone can make me gag, but now the taste makes me want to vomit in epic proportions. I made this know to my new coworkers one day while talking random shit to each other <--- a common event that happened everyday in between the screams of small children.  
          A few days after my last day of work, I went to pick up my paycheck, like any normal person would. So my friend Amethyst (her blog is linked to mine) and I went together in the cold to achieve the great summer goal: money! What we didn't expect to find was our old coworker polishing one of the rides... with mayo.
So we stood and watched as she smeared mayo against the metal, confused as all hell, and the only answer we could get was "well the boss told me to do it so i do it."

I haven't found any information to understand how this mayo and metal combination works, but maybe someone out there knows =)

  1. Well since I was involved in the mayo adventure, I feel I should at least explain :) The ride isn't made of metal, it's fiberglass, and since mayo is like 90% oil, the oil from it penetrates the fiberglass and makes it shiny. And altho I love mayo, that was kinda gross :/
