I am sorry for asking a stupid question...

I recently purchased a donkey kong machine, as some may have read...anyways, do i have to oil the joystick, as i was told from a few people that i have to every couple of months? my average play time is about 2 hours a night, and if i am not mistaken, 3 in one oil would be the oil i use?
 
 thanks in advance guys...

Don't worry, there are no stupid questions. Only stupid people. Haha, kidding 

Personally, I've never oil-ed my joystick (and 1 year later, it still works very well), but maybe some people do it. I would enjoy to know who oil their joystick, that doesn't seem to be a bad idea (because yeah, the joystick can sometime be "sticky", maybe because you have to oil it, but also maybe there's dust in the joystick so you have to clean it).

That reminds me of an incident at work a few years ago.  At the time, I was a member of the IT programming staff.  A woman in the adjacent Accounts Payable department was having a hard time sending a fax.  After 10 minutes of unsuccessful attempts, she loudly blurted out, "This stupid machine!"

I calmly informed her, "There are no stupid machines, only stupid machine operators."

Everyone nearby seemed to enjoy that remark, except her.
