By the by...do you know what substance gets tar off of a human body?  I do.  It's lighter fluid.  I just bathed in it practically.  My skin is going numb.

yikes, man. if that's anything like showering in gasoline, i know the feeling. yikes.

moisturizing lotion should help out a lot.

Whoo

I can only imagine that it's about the same thing. And moisturizing lotion helped quite a bit. Except I forgot to cover the parts of my body that were just exposed to the lighter fluid water in the bottom of the shower, so now my feet and ankles are all scaley.

Was the gasoline shower an accident, or like mine to use as a substance to get another substance off?

i've been driving a gasoline tanker for 9 years or so. these things happen. no big whoop.

when you vent the trailer during a warm day following a cold night, there's sometimes condensation (liquid gasoline) at the venting point... under pressure, of course.

or, sometimes, you go to load 3000 gallons into a 1000-gallon compartment... or someone loading a truck next to you does it. whoops!

it's pretty well known in my industry that if you don't feel the burn of gasoline on your scrotum within the first year, you're pretty lucky.

See, I knew that you drove the tanker, but the gasoline on the scrot, and it being pretty much expected I did not know.

That's gotta be fun trying to get the smell out though.

Indeed. Flammable and still smoking. The only part of my body that is still numb is my tongue, which was most likely caused by smoking, with lighter fluid on my hands.

And all was for naught...cause now we have to tear down the entire porch roof, and redo the whole damned thing. I'm waiting till fucking November, so it's only 98 degrees outside when I'm doing it.
