OK folks, snicker and giggle all you want, but Vaseline is what I've used
with nary a problem.  If yer really kinky (and it is Friday of course), you
could prolly use KY <grin>.  A little white grease would prolly be OK as
well.

In otherwords, use some slight lubrication on the shaft and the boot hole
along with a very dull butter knife for leverage.

.........OK, I think I've done enuff damage here.........
