We discussed where bleach factories are? I missed it. Or didn't assimilate it. I do fess up that I never, ever, not once thought about where bleach comes from. Have you thought about where tar comes from? I never had, but I looked up tar, wondering why they call sailors that. It's short for tarpaulin. Which makes no sense to me. But about tar: : a dark brown or black bituminous usually odorous viscous liquid obtained by destructive distillation of organic material (as wood, coal, or peat) As Mel would say.. Gross.
