   Perhaps I should change my signature from “Teresa” to “Typo”. This is getting tiresome. Sorry.

   Well, it isn’t getting tiresome to *us*! We get an extra snicker.

   Re: dissolving corpse in bathtub, in chemical of some sort:
   Yeah, I hate when that happens.

   But which is the more horrifying visual–the dissolving etc., or the golfer wearing lime slacks?

   Definitely the golfer in lime slacks-MY EYES, O MY EYES!!!!

   If you think that’s bad - you might not want to look under the sink!

   Wait. I thought it was UNslaked lime.

   Slashing Hides and Evisceration of Carcasses. —
   After slaughter, all animals should have the hides or skins
   slashed through in such a manner as to destroy the pelts
   for commercial use. The carcasses should be eviscerated
   and covered with unslaked lime. The amount of lime
   used may vary with local conditions, the ability to secure
   same, etc. A barrel of lime for every 6 to 8 cattle or 12 to
   15 sheep or swine is usually sufficient. If the animals are
   large, additional lime may be used.

   We need a lime-slacked golf-playing chemist to explain the difference between slaked and unslaked lime.

    Sulfuric acid is faster……and leaves the tub sparkly clean afterward.

    There’s nothing like fresh lime-ade to slake your thirst, especially after disposing of decomposing corpulent corpses…

    Unslaked lime, called simply “lime”, is calcium oxide, and has none of the nifty properties of slaked lime, calcium hydroxide. It’s slaked because it’s lime mixed with water, so its thirst has been slaked, so to speak. You use unslaked lime for the carcasses and stuff because it’s safer to handle, and changes into slaked lime anyway when the moisture from the decomposing carcass mixes with it. If you don’t want to wait that long, pre-slake.

    Slacked lime is just lime that’s kicking back, you know? And limeade will slake almost anybody’s thirst. Trader Joes has pomegranate limeade for $2.69 for a half gallon. Great stuff.

    I got here late - did the typo get fixed? I ask because I’m seeing “slaked lime” in the comic. (From previous comments, I gather it must have originally been “slacked lime”.)

    Thank you, Miss Face. The new eyepatch is quite fetching.
