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.

Did thoo ever get peanut butter tuck in da roof of your mouf....?

Giving globs of peanut butter to dachshunds is one of the funniest things you'll ever see. With their long, narrow snouts and tongues, it's like watching a drunk anteater.

[GeronL]

I'll try to remember if I am around. But those pics, from his explanation, will take a while.

Might as well ping everyone on this thread. After the discriptions given, it would be a shame not to see pictures.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

That's a real hair-raising story! The combover's gotta go!!!!!!!! :-)

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I haven't discerned if anyone has pinged you yet. This thread is DEFINITELY worthy of a "hold muh beer" alert!

[Dianna]

Someone upthread called it a "just damn" in the making! LOL

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Not to mention the makings of a good script for a comedy movie. I'll help out with the screen play!!!!

Oooh yeah, want those favorites back. Lost all of mine in an upgrade, lol, and they were too good not to keep. Jaysun, dude, hope it all worked out for your friend, lmao ;)

Did you shave the burr-throwers' heads too? So they'd understand payback?
