Need Help From Freeper Females (vanity)

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.

Pretty good, too! ;) I guess our paths don't cross much these days since I've been kind of delinquent about stopping in the Daily Dose...

How far has your begging me gotten you to this point?

Answering a question with a question. I KNEW you didn't know.

Yeah, I've been kinda busy too lately and post when I can. Life happens, ya know.

[mhking]

Didn't I read this in an old Dave Barry column or something?

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[NYC GOP Chick]

Yep, I *definitely* know what you mean. Hope it's all good with you. :)

This thread beats any video any time!!!!

OMG....it may not be the hair on his head.

[Igraine]

Use Ajax or Comet to get out the peanut butter. This will leave the hair very dry, so rub in a bunch of mayonnaise. Mayonnaise spoils quickly, so pour tomato juice over his head to cover the smell. Add a box of cornstarch to keep the tomato juice from dripping. Blow dry and style as usual.

OMG!! See post #214!! I didn't even think of that!!

Now imagine that with the beer attempt, as well as the peanut butter! HAHAHAHAHA!!

Since we don't know what is in this guy's hair we don't know if baby oil would be preferable. Heh, heh.

[rintense]

Please reassure all of us with sick, twisted minds that a vacuum is not involved.

I didn't bring her up, Abner did. No, I didn't save her picture. What do you think I am, a middle-aged perv getting jollies from looking at pics of cute young women on the net?

er...I think I resemble that remark.

[Mo1]

Got any tomato juice?

That's for skunks .. I saw it on the Partridge Family Show :0)

[abner]

jaysun should have thought of that before posting this!!!!!!

Maybe one less beer in the hair or hand or wherever and he would have realized how much entertainment he would be providing.

[dawn53]

LOL! Now you've gone and done it. That's the last thing I needed to hear.

[squarebarb]

There went my half-price After Easter discount chocolates all over the keyboard.

[Nita Nupress]

LOL! They're outside, pencils in hand, "writing" their names in the dirt. Except for Jaysun's friend, of course, who probably has both of his hands stuck to the sides of his head, in that "Oh crap, whatta I do now" position.

LOL! Good gawh,... Let's hope that cabin doesn't have electricity and an electric sander...
