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.

Whatever you do,,, DO NOT miss this thread.

HAHAHAH!

Greasy suggestions: mayonnaise, peanut butter, baby oil
Solvents: Dawn, soap, shampoo
Absobents: corn starch, talcum powder

Extreme remedies: gsoline, turpentine, Nair

If none of these work, then Jaysun's friend has found the perfect glue.

I haven't seen a thread this promising since Sweet_Sunflower29 logged in to tell us she had a live rattlesnake trapped under her foot.

WTFO? Got a link?

My wife says RUBBING ALCOHOL removes the grease and/or stickiness from tree sap, axle grease and crayons. Just don't get it in the eyes.

Ping! Humor break! Ok, so it's not so humourous to Jaysun's pal....

[winodog]

bump to read the last chapter

[CholeraJoe]

Nita! Ain't seen you in a coon's age (as they would say down south)

WD-40 and a wire brush will clean up anything.

[ride the whirlwind]

Perfect. Hey, where did Jaysun go?

[hellinahandcart]

Okay, me four...I'm still crying here, can barely read the replies...

[Nita Nupress]

I thought of gasoline or kerosene, but they're all drunk....God knows what would happen.

No kidding. LOLOL!

Where did Jaysun go? They're probably all outside pissin' off the porch together.

[alnick]

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

I think they already tried duct tape. He said they taped a wal-mart bag to his head and poured beer on it through a hole in the top of the bag and let it sit for an hour.

Now how to remove duct tape from the head...

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Howdy. How is the hot air business?

The man pledge (my husband has to recite it often):

I'm a man, but I can change
If I have to, I guess!

Belay that!
(Gummy, they are already legally incapacitated!)
Alernate Dawn with vinegar/cool water 1/2 and 1/2 rinses.
Stop buy any beauty shop on the way home and buy the really really expensive deep conditioner for dry hair.
No gasoline!!!!!!!
