Stiff n Groady

    You've read it on the Internet or you've heard it somewhere, I don't know.  Maybe your friend acted like they made it up so you would think they're funny or something.  There's that question, why do you have to wash wash rags.  The implication is that if you use them every day to make soap sudsy then why do you need to laundry them.  Aren't they already clean from the daily washing?

    You might call them wash cloths.  That could be due to the probability that you grew up less poor them me.  We called them rags.  That's because they were.  Most of the washrags I grew up with came in a laundry detergent box.  They gave washrags or drinking tumblers to encourage you to buy their worthless products.  We did.  The washcloths that came in the laundry detergent became washrags rather quickly.  Who knows if they did so because of the cheap laundry detergent or the cheap washrags.

    So it is kinda strange though isn't it?  Even though you wash the washrags practically every day in the sudsy soapness of your daily shower, they still need to go to periodic laundering to keep them from getting all stiff and groady.  Why that is, I don't know.  I'm not a laundry scientist.  But I will say that it gives me a fine new idea for financing my retirement.  I need to make a new soap.

    We can see from our washrags that hand soap or body soap or shower soap or bath soap are not really the things to use for cleanliness after all.  We can see that when that sort of soap is used too often on the same item every day or every other day or now and then, well it turns the things all stiff and groady just like your washrags.  Clearly, that's how we get those nasty old stiff and groady people.  I can change that.  I'm going to make a new soap.  I'm going to make bathtub detergent.  I'll make bath soap out of laundry detergent.  It'll sell like wildfire.  Pity the stiff and groady. 

   My time has come.
