Maybe it just my imagination, but it seams quality name brand clothes
that I have don't seam to retain grease stain so easy. But cheaper
wal-mart type of clothes seam to get stains in them in no time. I
would buy the expensive clothes if I thought that was true, but I seam
to always get some kind of grease stain, so I don't feel so bad if I
did not pay so much for the item. thanks

Not sure about the difference between the materials, although the name
brand clothes may be treated to resist staining, but you can treat grease
stains with the mechanics cream-type hand cleaner. I used some today to
remove asphalt roofing paper stains from a pair of jeans. (Asphalt is
basically a very thick grease.) Safe to use in the washer, too, unlike
mineral spirits or gasoline.

You can generally find it at the chain auto parts stores (Auto Zone,
Advance Auto Parts, Pep Boys, O'Reillys, etc.) or Wal-Mart for $1 per
tub. Doesn't take much, and while it will liquify over time, it doesn't
go bad.

Why is it that these days, the words "What idiot" are so frequently
followed by the words "at Microsoft"?

people eating directly out of their plate with their face do not have
the problem...

only folk who use forks have the problem.... or you could take your
shirt off when you eat like some do
here in california... then you just have to wash your belly off and
you are ready to go.
