Slime reduces the friction, and vasoline is pretty similar to slime.
Just go talk to any slimey fish about it, and they'll tell you that their slime makes it easier to swim cause it cuts down on the friction and they do not have to work so hard!   |
Could this be why our representatives in congress and lawyers swim so well?
