Use for old worn out hole filled underware.

Darn TwoShadows, Now you've got me trying to remember the song for "Grandmas Lye Soap".

Grandmas Lye Soap

Do you remember Grandma's Lye Soap,
Good for everything in the home,
And the secret was in the scrubbing,
It wouldn't suds, and wouldn't foam,

Oh, let us sing right out (sing out!)
For Grandma's Lye Soap,
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes,
And for your hands,
And for your face!

Little Therman, and Brother Herman,
Had an aversion to washing their ears...
Grandma scrubbed them with her lye soap,
And they haven't heard a word in years!

Oh, let us sing right out (sing out!)
For Grandma's Lye Soap,
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes,
And for your hands,
And for your face!

Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley,
Suffered from ulcers, I understand,
She swallowed a cake of Grandma's Lye Soap,
Has the cleanest ulcers in the land!

Oh, let us sing right out (sing out!)
For Grandma's Lye Soap,
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes,
And for your hands,
And for your face!

Hey Zonie, believe it or not there's something called
(c)rap music out there that is even less PC

Cliff, the old timer who taught me and numerous other kids about shooting BP had an endless supply of cleaning patches. Everyone at the matches (some real fond memories there) cleaned their bores spotless between every shot. When he'd turn over one of his rifles to one of us he'd hand over three bags, one full of clean tee shirt strips, one full of used and washed patches (the Mrs. was very supportive and even churned her own butter, talk about a match made in Heaven) and an empty, net bag that went into the wash.

The new ones were for the last patch, to make sure nothing was left in the barrel.

The Mrs. was one good housekeeper, too and if this caused any problems with the washer she sure wouldn't have done it.
