What Joe said.
I'm too lazy to do it manually so once a year i take my steels down to the car wash and have them machine washed while i sit down and relax and treat myself with a nice cone of strawberry ice cream. Sometimes i may throw in an amp or telecaster as well.

This is the 3rd or 4th thread about this particular video, which came out a few months ago. But it really is funny as hell and deserves to be brought to the top periodically. Rick, you done good. :)
