A new one for me

Just thought I'd pass this on as an "FYI" for you automotive guys.

I got a call last week from a local used auto dealer to come and look at his personal vehicle. A Cadillac Escalade, leather interior.

He went to the local Dollar store to pick up cleaning supplies for his lot and the gallon of bleach he bought evidently didn't have the lid on tight. It tipped over, spilled some on the rear seat and ate a hole through the perforated leather insert in the seat. The funny thing though, it didn't bleach out the dye or harm the foam underneath. It just opened up all of the perforations and left about a 3" hole in the seat cover. At least that's the story he's telling me (and probably his wife too).

I hate those Dollar stores. I can never find anything.
I'll ask the cashier "Where are the envelopes?"
She'll say "They're on the grocery aisle, between the garden hoses and the tampons".

I guess now they can advertise bleach as "Leather perforation enlarger".
