Al Carrell: You know, a whole lot of this do-it-yourself stuff I'm trying to sell you on can end up being a dirty business, and you'll end up with dirty hands. We like to call 'em 'Handyman Hands'. If you have Handyman Hands, I doubt that Princess Di is going to ever invite you over. Now there are some great ways to get rid of the dirt, because there are soaps that are on the market. This one has pumice in it. This is some stuff called Mean Green that is pumice and will do a good job. And the kind of very popular cleaner that a lot of people use is a waterless cleaner, and it really does a nice job. Another alternative is to put a protective coating over your skin before you get started, and I have found that petroleum jelly does just about as good a job as anything else. You just take some of it and start rubbing it around on your hands and what you're doing is you're forming an invisible glove that is going to let the dirt get on you hands, but not get down in the pores, so it's going to be real easy to clean up. And then the last step is to take a bar of soap, rub your fingernails across there and all of the soap that you get in under your fingernails is going to end up protecting you from getting any kind of dirt in under your fingernails.
So there's no reason for you to end up with dirty, yucky, grimy, greasy Handyman Hands. And if you end up with clean hands, there's no telling who might invite you over.
