My 4 year old son just came inside and handed my a wide tip Milwaukee inkzall permanant marker and proudly proclaimed that he had turned mommies car into a race car.

Brake cleaner didn't take it off. Alcohol didn't take it off. I began to worry.

I went in the shop and started looking for something that might remove it, when a bottle of Ed's Red Caught my eye. I put it on a rag and scrubbed the racing stripes right off.

Thanks Ed!

Ballistol will usually run ME out of my own man cave, never mind the wimmin folk! As good as it is, that stuff smells nasty! Ed

Growing old is mandatory, growing up, however, is totally optional!

Hi. Be sure to save that picture to show your grandkids what their daddy did when he was four years old! He looks sufficiently remorseful for his deed, but I'm glad it turned out to be a minor event. By golly, they sure are fun at that age! Ed

We use sharpies at work all over.  Alcohol is a good solvent for removing the unwanted markings.

I'd use BALLISTOL as an after shave. But for some bizarre reason, women's noses curl up when they smell it.

I remember a cartoon in Sports Afield.  With two women talking  and one asked how she got her husband. The outher women said Oh I just used Hoppies # 9 as a perfume.  

Would have worked for me!

Ed's Red works great for jock itch, athletes feet and the occasional breakout of hemroids. Ballistol cures most everything else including, but not limited to, the creeping crud, St. John's worts and most STDs.

Yeah it does, but it also causes all the female dogs in the neighborhood to go in heat. Hell, once I used it on a female and the next morning I had 39 males in my yard howling at the moon, 13 hours before it came out!

OOOHHHH.  Not sure about application of Ed's Red to a 'roid.  Not with the acetone and such.  LOL.

When I was a young boy,my younger brother poured some mineral turpentine on the pet cat,unfortunately it was inside the house,it went mad tearing around the house,got into the parents bedroom,climbed the curtains and eventually was guided outside.I haven’t forgotten the incident.Thinking of this has brought up visions of David being swabbed with a liberal dose of Ed’s Red and the ensuing response.I will continue to use Ed’s Red for firearms.

 Big man 54;

Are you sure that it is the Balistol that is driving the women away?

It is probably the acetone in Ed's Red that removed the marker.  I have used acetone on a rag to remove some rather vile comments put on the side of my old van by my Nephew, or his Mom I don't know which.  It worked quite well, and waxing afterwards restored the finish.

The perfume comments remind me of a former love interest. When she asked what perfume I liked, I replied, "Hoppe's #9." 

A week later, she told me she could not find it anywhere. When I explained where to buy it, she became raher incensed. Perhaps if I was then using Ed's Red, I could have given her a bottle, but this happened before Ed's Red was published.
