I like that. It's sort of like his elevator doesn't go to the top floor or She's a few bricks short of a load.

This is from a recent compass thread. Hope it helps:

"Until 2001, all Ritchie compasses (see exception) were filled with odorless mineral spirits. Ritchie now uses a fluid called Isopar L ® that has similar properties but with some added benefits over Odorless Mineral Spirits. These can be mixed together.

Exception: Some old style Flat Top Compasses used an Isopropyl Alcohol and water mix. This process was stopped in the 1960’s. If you have a Flat Top Compass it is recommended that you test the fluid to see if it is odorless mineral spirits or Isopropyl Alcohol."
