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.

This sounds like a Porky's movie, I swear! Look at all the demented innuendo that we sensible, freeper women are posting! This is classic.

My husband's just staring at me...

sounds like my husband - except when he comes running from the other room when I start sneezing and coughing.......

I would suggest a little Clorox mixed with a little hydrogen peroxide. I'm pretty sure that will work.

[Mo1]

Yes. The dolt used it all up. He said that the peanut butter basically makes his hair waterproof, and that the shampoo wouldn't penetrate

*L* .. Did he use the whole jar?

[small voice in the wilderness]

This changes everything. Quick, whatever you do, DON'T rip the duct tape.

[Unknown Freeper]

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

Oh that is waaaaay too much information. The situation is going downhill fast. Now I can't imagine what could be stuck there.

[abner]

I never said his/her name.

[eastforker]

uh, with see through dresses, that was a remarkable pic even if it wasn't him.

While we're waiting for Jaysun to get back to us:

Vanity Help identify this snake found in my bedroom! Please!!

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Okay...SERIOUSLY...
if these guys are anywhere near an open flame...pilot lights, too. I met someone who tried the gasoline-on-the-lice-thing, and the pilot light ignited this poor child. She suffered 3rd degree burns on her face, neck and shoulders.

Dawn Dishwashing detergent is great for getting greasy
oily stuff out (ie - its used for wildlife soaked from an oil spill).

She's right. My daughter got into a jar of vaseline when she was little. Her head was just caked with it! LOL I had to wash her hair 5 times with Dawn, but it worked. Keep washing...and stop scalding his scalp! LOL

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

I remember that. This is another classic in the making.

For skunks, a combo of Dawn, baking soda, and peroxide works best. Remember when I posted a year or so ago that my dog got sprayed by a skunk? None of the common household remedies worked. But the groomer knew just what to use- the concoction above.

Since it isn't really peanut butter, contacting George Washington Carver with a OuiJa Board won't help much.

How about gasoline? LOL!

[Dan from Michigan]

Wasn't there a similar kind of scene in American Pie 2 involving crazy glue mixed up with lube?

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[Nita Nupress]

My guess is this fella got K-Y Jelly in his hair. To bad he had to mess it up with the Peanut Butter.

Yeah, but a typical cabin wouldn't have K-Y, would it? How about a squeeze gun thingy full of that grease you use on ball-bearings or U-joints?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Mr. CGG just suggested standing outdoors under a tree and a woodpecker will take care of it. That will work!!!

[kstewskis]

Your bro-in-law doesn't go by the alias of "Tim the Tool Man" does he? ;)

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

I am begining to think that there if there is a group of men(?) up in a cabin that what is really happening is that they are using us as their evening entertainment.

I'm not female (or classygreeneyedblonde for that matter), but I asked some friends and they say...

Wax it!
