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.

When I first clicked on this thread, there were no responses. I thought I was going to be first and I was 42nd. I took a respite and now there are over 300 repsonses.

I guess we needed a humor break....

Senator, is that you again? ;)

Thank you for this post.

You don't realize it, but you have proven a point, and it's a good one.

One of the funniest threads in ages and a classic, I'm sure.

[CholeraJoe]

I never said his/her name.

In your defense, you didn't post the name, I did. But the "host on the sun" remark is an FR Classic, up there with moose, cheese and showers.

Its been quiet a long time. Maybe someone has gone to a store.

Possible. Or maybe the guys in the white coats finally tracked them down.

I'm not really sure I want to know....

since I've had some time to think about it, and calm my laughter, I'm inclined to agree with you.....but there is still that part of me that says I'VE GOT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!

This is a hilarious keeper thread bump.

Well, one has to be careful with those kind of statements -- they just MAY turn out to be serious. LOL!

Shoot, I have to go. Lemme know what happens here.

Jaysun, do y'all have a chainsaw out there, by chance?

[netmilsmom]

Or which hair it's in.

[RightOnline]

One word...............................napalm.

The peanut butter is a good idea, but only if you use grape jelly with it. ;-) Peanut butter, ice, vinegar, Dawn dish soap, spray and wash or Biz can work on different things, but without knowing what he has in his hair, it's kinda difficult to know what to break it down with. Good luck. ;-)

Will do - just been Cold Busted By The NSA! (inside joke)

[ride the whirlwind]

Maybe they had to make a run for

[reformedliberal]

ROTFLOL! I'm dyin' here. My husband's just staring at me...

Mine too.

I was laughing too hard to continue reading aloud, so my husband came over to find out what was so dang funny and now we are both just gasping and weak from laughter.

Thanx, Jaysun!! After all these weeks of political and geopolitical angst, we needed this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

BTW, I vote for the bar of soap. Or a scissors.

[Senator Pardek]

Oh my - I forgot I was forbidden to post to you - give a guy in his seventies a break.

[Gabz]

Whatever you do, don't put any unknown (or known for that matter) in your hair.

At this point I'm not even going to put shampoo in it......I'll wait til the morning!!!!

[NRA2BFree]

Here's one that I forgot. Try Goo Gone. It removes grease, gum, tar, gummy things, makeup and sticky things. You can get it at a automotive store.

Great to find another USAF vet on a funny thread like this. How ya' doin' ya' old tanker toad?;-)
