If you’ve just bought Pine Sol at Walmart, don’t ride home on your bicycle with it in your book bag over a bumpy road for a mile, because if you do your wallet, which is also in your book bag, will become a freshy-soaked pine-scented air freshener. 
Truer words are spoken but seldom.
Sounds interesting..
What are you guys talkin’ about here.
Slan,

Pine Sol is a strongly pine-scented liquid cleaning product. Ok on your floors. Not so cool on your wallet.
Holy smoke! I’m glad you warned me because that’s exactly what I was going to do tomorrow.
Thanks.
It sucks. I’m just so glad I didn’t have my $300 text books with me, because if they got ruined in pine sol, I’d probably die.
And here is its spokesperson:
I’m sure she has a real name, but nobody seems to know her by anything other than “the Pine Sol lady.”
All is not lost. Save the wallet for when you trade in the bike for a car. Tie a string around the wallet and hang it from your rear-view-mirror. Voila!!! Pine-scented air freshener for your car.

I’d like to be like Ralph Nader and never own a car.
In fact, I’d like to have one of those flying bubblecrafts that the Jetsons ride around in…
Ok, then, have it your way. . . All is not lost. Save the wallet for when you trade in the bike for a flying bubblecraft. Tie a string around the wallet . . .

GREAT idea! 
Wheeew. Some days I have to work harder than others.

Heh! “What’s in YOUR wallet???”
I feel compelled to inquire . . . what were you, a student living in a lovely, well-maintained dorm, going to do with Pine-Sol? (Please don’t tell me “laundry,” or I will feel it necessary to come up there and give you laundry lessons . . . )
Next time . . . Mr. Clean smells better, cleans better, and requires less rinsing . . . and isn’t so hard on wallets . . . :roll:
I was thirsty! 
What can I say?
(Actually, I was going to mop…cause my floors are nasty.)

There are times when you can be so cynical.
Slan,
D.
What, you people are hanging over this thread??? Both of you??? You got to it before I had a chance to edit it!
Cool, though. One of you across the pond and one up north . . . small world!
OK, Cran, I’ll accept that you can do a floor with Pine-Sol. But Mr. Clean smells better! Doesn’t have that “public toilet” effect.
I’m still baffled about why you thought it “cynical,” Dub . . . 
I am, after all, familiar with that product . . . 
When I first got here I had to show this guy how to do laundry, because he had never worked a washing machine in his entire life. I felt motherly.
After I showed him how to work the machines, he was measuring the washing powders like it shows on the box, by the exact precise amount, and he looked like he was so confused, so I said, “Here, do it this way” and I just scooped enough out that “looked right” to me, and poured it in and turned it on for him.
Then later when he was drying his clothes, I had to help him. He didn’t know that you just push the button in, hold it for a second, then you can leave the dryer for an hour or so and come back.
I don’t understand how a person can reach college age without ever drying clothes. He’s probably never cooked either, and I learned to cook before I learned my ABCs! I can remember being four or five years old an my aunt teaching me to make scrambled eggs…
Is it not familiarity that breeds contempt?
An extremely well educated woman like yourself should not really, if you’ll pardon my saying, be so judgemental on those that don’t have the benefits of your intellect…
I could be missing something here but then again, I’m thick as F%%k.
Slan,
