Removing Tar from Clothing

My boyfriend and I went to the beach and he got tar all over his brand new swim shorts. How does he get it out?

Mega thanks to this site and the useful info, it has saved me buying a new carpet. WD 40 did a grand job. Thanks for all the useful info. (07/31/2008)

I used Fast Orange and it saved my shirt and a $40 pair of kids jeans. (11/29/2008)
