2. Creosote is used to lengthen the lifespan of crucial wooden infrastructure... |
|
. . . ...like utility poles, railroad ties, and pier pilings -- often keeping them viable for 40 years or more. . . . Saltpeter was used (without basis) to curb male libido. . . . So I guess the substances would cancel each other out and your woody structure would neither collapse nor last long. . . . :shrug: . . .

. . . . . . . . Flaccid Auld Railroad Ties. . . . . . . . . But we'll be best-known by our acronym. . . .

11. When I was a young cadet at the Academy, it was rumored |
|
That they mixed Salt Peter into the mashed potatoes to curb our sex drives.
It didn't work.
