Smile: Took said jacket home with me holding it with 2 fingers as far away from myself as possible. Washed said jacket twice with soap and a little Dettol. Now I've got a very nice looking midseason black jacket. Almost never worn as far as I can tell. The black is still very black without any sunfade. Nice... :mrgreen:
That reminds me of the time I was taking a walk, and saw a pair of men's underwear lying in the road, full of dump. I didn't take those home and wash them and wear them, needless to say.
Now thààt's a whole different ball game... :lol:

Hey man, if it cleaned up good, who cares? The 'emergency towel' I've used in my last 4 cars has a similar origin.

My college girlfriend's brother was going to school for marine biology. During one of the many red tide incidents that happened where I was going to school there was a dead puffer fish that washed up on a beach. We thought her brother might think it was cool after a little cleanup by bugs and some cleaning solution dunking. Not wanting to just pick up a dead (but no longer smelly) puffer fish that was a red tide victim we found a random towel left on the beach. After flipping the fish onto the towel and wrapping it up in a plastic bag I had in my car, we took it home.

I left it on my back patio for the bugs to finish cleaning and washed the towel thoroughly several times. The fish eventually did go to her brother and the towel went in my car for use defogging windows and any other emergency use that comes up. If something happens to it, I don't care as it is ugly and it didn't cost me anything. But it has been useful on occasion.

frown: My mother out of nowhere bought me a transparent blue Sega Saturn with matching controllers and games and it wasn't even my birthday....then I woke up. :cry:

smile: Well...it's the weekend at least, and there'll be parties.

So you think throwing an excellent new jacket away -or leaving it there in my case- because it has some shitstains on it is a better standard than washing it, which takes care of the problem 100 percent. Nice...

I'm glad I think like old people regarding stuff like that then...

Next time you take a dump, don't wipe your ass, throw it away... -_-

I wouldn't touch the coat either. At least I know where the shit on my own ass has been. Can't say the same for random shit on a coat. I don't care what famous designer name brand it is, it stays on the ground.

And then you spot a copy of Suikoden II covered in shit on the ground... :lol:

Seriously, I think you guys overrate the concept of faeces. It's just shit...

Next time you eat some of those lovely red strawberries, keep in mind they've been grown on dirt and shit...

Not your shit, some incognito animal's shit. The horror! The horror!... :shock:

Strawberries will never be the same... :lol: :lol: :lol:
