There used to be a brand of paper towels called Job Squad that were as
thick as felt and very good for carrying in one's pocket, but they
were vastly over-qualified for most paper-towel jobs, and those few
who bought them as disposable handkerchiefs took a long time to use up
a roll, so whoever it was that made them gave up.

A few weeks ago, the resident engineer bought a roll of paper shop
towels called "Box of Rags".

Job Squad is back! They're a tad thinner, but even softer, and really
good at cleaning up.

And hard to tear into two pieces -- I have to use scissors instead of
a ham knife.
