>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 06:23:54 2022 No.20367669 >>20367661 When you think about it, mug stains are the least offensive kind of stains.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 06:25:00 2022 No.20367671 >>20367669 less offensive than gum stains?

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 06:36:40 2022 No.20367696 >>20367661 Happened to me. Get a baby wipe and lightly rub. Works a charm everytime. I've had second hand books go from 'used' or 'acceptable' to 'very good' just from this method alone.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 13:12:41 2022 No.20368840 >>20368011 I gave a chuckle

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 13:38:10 2022 No.20368952 >>20367669 Yeah, better than that booger you find on page 54. Or that unidentified stain that appears to be some kind of dried blood.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 13:39:11 2022 No.20368956 >>20367990 What do people expect? This is like buying used Playboy.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 13:39:47 2022 No.20368959 >>20368011 One day I will manipulate my children into setting this joke up so I can deliver that punchline. It was great.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 13:39:51 2022 No.20368961 My favorite is when the used book has an inscription like "To Jim from Doris, '77" and clearly only the first chapter was ever read.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 14 17:32:03 2022 No.20369865 >>20367990 What a weak load.
