Outlet lubricant

 Helps the plug get in and out

The other day I had to wrestle with a plug for about a minute to get the thing out of the socket. I thought it would be easier if there was a lubricant for the outlet that would not catch fire. It would come in a metered can with a plug shaped applicator. It would be metered so you don't gum up the whole electrical box.

       1. I learned the word "pillock". +! 2. The lubricant could be gently scented, so as it was heated by the passing current, the room would slowly fill with the heady scent of musk. 3. This would also make it possible to design appliances with unusually large or long plugs.
