Plot

When Harry drops ice cream on his favorite brand new used shirt, he orders Sleazy-Off, a stain remover that, according to an ad on TV, removes stains from all fabrics. Although Sleazy-Off does remove ice cream stains from Harry’s pants, sock, and pillow, it doesn’t work on his shirt.

After fantasizing about taking the ad pitchman to court, wherein he is given a fifty-year prison sentence (working in the laundry) that would destroy the Sleazé family, Harry decides not to pursue litigation and comes up with a simple way to prevent making a mess the next time: wearing washable clothing while he eats ice cream.
