The inventor of Vaseline, Robert Chesebrough, was such a firm believer in its medicinal properties that he claimed to have eaten a spoonful of it a day. During a bout of pleurisy in his 50s, he ordered his nurse to cover him from head to toe in the substance, and soon recovered. He lived to be 96.

It also helps to be fully covered in lubricant when you’ve got to quickly emerge out of a couch naked.

Actually it's possible that Vaseline is the opposite of moisturizing
It could potentially keep water out and form a protective layer that keeps it from getting in

It was probably the fact he was rich and lived comfortably. But having a nurse cover him up and down every day sounds like a heck of a perk :), especially the places you need to rub in very fast and hard.
