Paul, you got that right!
Please LABEL that little bottle.
Back when I lived in Manhattan Beach,
A client dropped off a quart of ACETONE
In a 7-Up Bottle. I came in late that night,
Saw the 7-Up and I took a swig.
Luckily, I did not swallow it, but it did
Dislodge/Release a couple of my fillings.
Kim "I'll drink anything" Sweeney,
Just hand me the Church Key...
PS My first though was
"Why doesn't he just get a hip flask?"

It's well labeled :->
and on a more general note,
someday, when you least expect it, somebody brings along a kid - or
an analphabetic.
you should NEVER, let me repeat NEVER keep potentially dangerous
stuff in something other than the original package, and safely tucked
away. it's also the only way to make sure the package does not
detoriate from the content and has the appropriate safty closing.
if something bad happens, you'll be accountable for any damages that
might follow (any idea what a week on IC costs?) and your insurence
might not even cover it when it follows from such a stupid mistake.
Plus you might be accountable under criminal law, since keeping
dangerous fluids in an impropriate bottle could ammount to criminal
negligence (sp?).
sorry for the off-topic rant.
I never clean my strings anyway. what do I know?

Does this mean I should stop keeping the rat poison in a Cheerios box?

This reminds me of the horror story that actor Eli Wallach tells, about
how during production of THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY a propman stored
some =acid= (which is used for artifically aging certain movie props)
inside a bottle of Wallach's favorite lemon soda. Apparently Wallach
was raising it to his lips...and detected the switcheroo at the last
possible second before he sipped it. <whew>
Obligatory Surf Content: Some surf bands play the theme music from THE
GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
