Need Help From Freeper Females (vanity)

[Jaysun]

Some of the guys and I are presently at the camping lodge and we’ve got a problem that requires the help of a sensible woman. My brother-in-law managed to get something in his hair this morning, and he wanted to wash it out. I can’t tell you what that something was, because he’s refused to divulge that to us thus far (I suspect that he fabricated the “tainted hair” theory to save himself some embarrassment.)

My brother-in-law believes that his wife has, at some point, told him that peanut butter is a useful household hair cleaner / conditioner. His wife animately denied ever saying anything about peanut butter, and thinks that he must have confused it with mayonnaise. Anyway, this guy has gone from a docile gentlemen to a ranting idiot and he’s now in a state of full blown panic.

Please provide us with any suggestions that you may have for removing peanut butter from hair. If possible, we’d like to know of any “home remedies” that may work – we’re in a fairly remote location and nobody is willing to go to the store. Besides looking ridiculous, he smells horrible. Here’s what we’ve tried so far:

A) Tried to “melt” it away by pouring very hot water over his head. This basically resulted in mild burns to his neck and scalp.
B) Made a makeshift shower cap out of a Wal-Mart bag, taped it around his head to make it watertight, and poured beer in a small hole at the top. He let it soak for about an hour to no avail.

Anything that you can suggest would be most appreciated.

Heinz Co. proving to be an election-year benefit - for President Bush

WASHINGTON - Though John Kerry's wife is an heir to the H.J. Heinz Co. fortune, the food company and its executives are providing President Bush with money and a campaign issue - jobs flowing overseas - in this year's election.


Members of the board of the Fortune 500 company and its corporate political action committee have donated thousands of dollars to Republicans in recent years, including contributions to the Bush campaign. The corporate PAC has given nothing to Kerry.

That's the best suggestion yet. Cornstarch or talcum powder followed by a comb through followed by a good wash with soap and water.

Don't use talcum powder. Breathing it is not a good thing but trust me the cornstarch will work.

It may take a couple of applications but I've used it on dozens of Old English Sheepdogs with mud and all sorts of things. It works wonders. I used to buy cornstarch boxes by the dozens.

I'm so glad you're here.

ping to see how it comes out

[squarebarb]

By the time Freepers are through with them they will have baked themselves into a giant repulsive peanut-butter cookie or blown themselves to kingdom come.

Depends how how much beer and Hot Damn is left, I suppose...

[mystery-ak]

He hasn't posted for awhile....Im worried what they are up to?.....see what happens when they are out of our control!

[Oorang]

Since he's not talking you know it's something far worse than gum...

[ride the whirlwind]

This sounds like the Red Green show.

[NonValueAdded]

Gasoline!!! I should talk, there was this one time in college ... but I digress. You are wicked, GummyIII

[NYC GOP Chick]

Oh, wow. This one could attain cult status and be talked about for years to come...I'm just wondering what he got in his hair in the first place...Think it could be a "Something About Mary" thing? ;D

[small voice in the wilderness]

and what items are available in the cabin.

LOL!! The McGyver Cabin. They've got a plan. It includes a midget, a small cannon, and a jar of peanut butter.

[hellinahandcart]

Me three...

[RosieCotton]

This sounds like the Red Green show.

Does that mean there's some way of fixing it with duct tape?

GOTTA be, right? Duct tape mends all things!

[GummyIII]

American Pie III, IV? Whichever?

[NYC GOP Chick]

Hahahaha! I am dying to know what the original substance was. The guy won't divulge it, so what could it be?

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

I'm # three you will have to be four.

[abner]

LOL!! The McGyver Cabin. They've got a plan. It includes a midget, a small cannon, and a jar of peanut butter.

You forgot duct tape! They can just put some duct tape on his head and then RIP!

[NYC GOP Chick]

You two fight it out, while I take dibs on #5!
