I'd watch out with some of that stuff. Remember old Greecian Formula? Well, a
friend of mine runs a hair salon or whatever you call it. She says that a guy
came into her shop and wanted his hair died without telling her about the other
stuff he was using. I might say that his hair went up in a puff of smoke, but
I'm sure it wasn't quite that extreme. Vanity, vanity. <grin>
