Help!!! I really messed up.
I was out driving, Mr Ballz, when all of a sudden it started to down
pour. It doesn't bother me that the car got wet, but I soon reached my destination & you will never guess what happened.
Yes, I exited the car & got my RED silk club jacket, all freakin wet.
I am so upset, I don't know what to do.
Please, can somebody help meeeee.

try laying it on the ground and driving back and forth over it a few dozen times. That should fix it up nicely.

Here is a good way to fix your jacket.
1. Find a small metal bucket - apparently metal works better then plastic - just ask Leno.
2. Small amount of lighter fluid, gas or charcoal lighter fluid will work - you will need this later.
3. Put jacket in bucket.
4. Douse with stuff from step 2 - use all of it! - one must not be wasteful.
5. Light a match and toss into bucket.
couple of minutes later - jacket should be completely dry!

Another Chapter in my Saga
After reading some of the really great ideas everyone came up with,
I decided to try & put in the dryer.
I was in a bit of a rush, so I placed in dryer & put timer on for 60
Minutes. I wanted my “Lil Red Silk” club jacket, dry.
.
Moe bad news. I don’t think my “Lil Red” jacket is made of silk.
After an hour in the dryer, it looked……………..
Well,…………you know how a pair of cheap polyester pants look,
When you place a lighter under them?
.
Yea, I think you got the picture. This jacket must have plastic in it,
Because around the holes it is outlined in what appears to be plastic.
I am really feelin bad & I need a few days to myself.
Next time I will listen to my forum buddies.
