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 is one of the funniest threads I have ever read on FR. Does your brother-in-law realize just how many people are sitting ringside to this circus? :) Please - put me on your ping list.

He doesn't really have a firm grasp on how popular the story of his misery is becoming. The last time he saw this we only had about 30 replies. Then it just ballooned. I'm not even sure if he's still conscience. We stopped checking on him because we grew tired of hearing his pathetic moans. I've added you to the picture ping list.

The baking soda/shampoo combo was going to be my suggestion too. That will work. But the best piece of advice I can give is you boys should never go anywhere again without an adult! :)

That's mean.

"you may never read it all, but a partial is worth it" ping.

Read #1, as many suggestions as you have time for, then read post #450 to see how it all came out.

[FourtySeven]

I've never wanted to see any picture more than these! LOL

PLEASE, add me to that list!

[King Prout]

cornstarch works even better after you decant about a quart of warm rendered lard onto the hair

It's a darn shame "Seinfeld" is over. THis would have been a great episode with George!

Would love to be pinged to the pics!

or carrottop

rule to the wise: just say no to metro

Everyone called their wives for advice and got nowhere. My wife might have helped if she had known what to suggest and if she could quit cackling out loud at his plight. I love her.

Haha. I'd like to see the pictures too please.

HHHMMMMM

As the Book says, harping on a matter seperates friends.

Relentless has it's place . . . we NEED to be relentless against her hideous heinous Shrillery.

And fun can get carried away.

But healthy close male friendships are hard to come by in our era. They are worth a lot of work to preserve.

And, it sounds like you guys had SOMETHING going for your group else there'd not have been so much camaraderie in this situation.

I hope HIS sense of humor and ability to laugh at himself is good or getting markedly better through all this! Usually in such situations, the only thing worth anything is a sense of humor. All the rest of whatever has already irretrievably gone to the dogs!

And with pics!!!! WOW! That certainly turns it into a HAPPENING. Plus a classic FR thread!?!!! Wheeeeeee.

He should take pride, he's now become an FR icon!

Thanks for sharing!
