Went out with girl whos dad was oil technician

He knocked sump plug off his car and lost oil

He said couple of pints of oil left so he rammed stick in to replace sump plug

And topped up with water

Said he knew oil emulsion would be good enough lubricant to get him home

 

Not sure I'd do it with modern engine though
