<VV> HELP-Clean oil/auto. trans. fluid from concrete

[Ebarr19 at aol.com]

I grew up on a farm in Illinois and remember fuel trucks that delivered to  
the farms had chains dragging from the rear of the truck ( I believe to 
ground  it incase of lightning ) but thought it could be bad if they had a  
leak.

Amazing!

Steel on concrete = sparks.

Sparks +  gasoline vapor = Boom!

Ever see chains draging on the road at  night?

I even get nice sparks cleaning my pizza stone (piece of  unglazed tile)
with a hand wire brush.

My neighbor tried  pouring gasoline on grease inside of his garage, then
leaving it to soak  for a couple of hours, then went to work on it with a
wire  brush.

The resulting explosion blew him through the garage door and  demolished the
garage an set fire to the house.  It was the most  exciting thing that
happened in the neighborhood since my other neighbor  caught his tie in the
garage door opener.

He came through it pretty  much ok, a spiral arm fracture and the loss of 
all
the hair on his  head.

He has since become a regular at church.

Mike in Michigan,  still driving my 63 Monza
Vert at the speed limit, driving in the right  lane, passing to the left.
Still ticket free after all these  years
