Are there any easy ways to get gasoline smell off your hands?

Our wings are not tired

Belt sander.

Okay, I'll go fire it up. But once I'm done, what do I do with my bleeding fingertips?

You people are funny but not very helpful.

What is even happening?

Lemon juice sometimes removes odors. I don't know about gasoline, though. Who'd you douse, anyhow?

See, this is why war sucks. Because my husband should be the one with gas on his hands and I should be offering helpful suggestions involving belt sanders.

The battery in his car was dead and it was low on gas. I got the battery re-charged but I didn't want to chance driving it to the station because who would get me if it died. I got some gas in one of our gas cans but when I poured it in the tank it leaked.

ETA: Also, there is now a small almost-dry puddle of gas on the garage floor. I don't think that's very good, but I'm hoping evaporation will take care of the problem.

Wash up with baking soda. It works for other stuff, it might work for gas.

I have something like 15 weeks of sick leave banked. I don't use it that often and it rolls over, year to year. It is something I lose upon leaving, as opposed to vacation, which they'll pay you for.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

See it was an asian guy in a large bunny suit. With white paint on his face. Doing...exercises. And his bunny suit had a very large pregnant looking belly.

The name of the show was Fruity Pie. It looked like a mandarin language children's show.

That's....odd. Odder still is that your Tivo randomly decided to record it.
