I imagine the hot wire technique was effective for slowing the rate of
transmission of the disease, as I wouldn't personally feel very amorous
for a while after that treatment. As for the tin supplement, I can save
you even more than your $18.90. Just throw an old crushed up soup can
into your fuel tank every 20,000 miles or so. Or better yet, have all
your fuel lines electroplated internally with tin. Or maybe have your
carbs cast in tin. Or ... well, you get the idea.
