Greasy is cool.

My love of wrestling is something my family does not share in nor understand. Our children are far to young to be exposed to the sport and my wife finds it revolting. My main source of wrestling information comes from the internet and streaming videos that I watch on various sites. To make sure our children don't hear the fighting and yelling that accompany a match I listen to shows with headphones on. This tends to get in the way at times because my wife always wants to talk to me right in the middle of a match. The other night I could have sworn she asked me if all wrestlers were covered in "used cisco" ? I had to ponder this question for a while as I could not begin to grasp the meaning of her question. Then it occurred to she meant "Crisco". I could have expounded on why wrestlers and body builders strive for that greasy and shiny all over look but decided it wasn't worth the time or aggravation. Instead I just told her it was probably just that way the light was hitting them or something.
