Lubricant on the Railroad

I came across an article this morning about commuter rail in Long Island. One of the first things the author does is complain about is the presence of a K-Y ad on the train. As someone who has a lifetime of familiarity with the many frustrations of commuter railroads, to single out a personal lubricant advertisement as what you have to complain about is almost impossible to fathom. However, perhaps some understanding can be gleaned when you read her uncomfortable description of another ad for the “Bodies” exhibit. Perhaps the conclusion should be: uncomfortable with the body=uncomfortable with personal lubricant.

I live in an area full to the brim with drug stores. Ironically, though, I do most of my lubricant purchasing on line. In the course of my research I have been seeing some conflicting reports about how lubricant is stocked in drug stores. Some people were bemoaning the lack or inaccessibility of the lubricant (behind not only the counter but lock and key in one instance). Others seemed shocked and appalled to find that lubricant had shown up in there drugstore in the first place. Today I decided to visit 5 drug stores and give myself 3 minutes to walk through them and see if I could find any lubricant. The idea of the time limit being to see how out of the way the lubricant had been placed. I found lubricant in 1 out of 5. Maybe my time limit was too short. The one I found it in was the last one, and I feel I was able to find it because I’d been learning a lot about drug store topography that day. Or maybe the first 4 just didn’t carry any. I’ll be investigating further soon.
