To dye for a good cause

Ronald Reagan's unfeasibly black hair

I used to laugh at Ronald Reagan's unfeasibly black hair but now I am making an arse of myself in similar fashion.

During a visit to my Thai girlfriend's relatives, one of them said that my hair looked old. The criticism really stung her. I had never given the matter any thought before but after thinking about it I decided to try the dye bottle. The results were fine and no one laughed.

However, when I visited the UK last month, a good mate reckoned that I looked like a cunt. Since he's a slap-head, I put this down to bitterness. However, I had to concede that in strong sunlight my tresses did display a touch of Paul McCartney aubergine haze.

In the UK, only foppish TV personalities dye their hair. However, in Thailand just about everyone's at it. I don't know what to do and now my roots are showing. What a dilemma.

Just For Fingers - for the record, since my subscription to amateur dye products lapsed 12 months ago, my sex life has improved no end. No longer mistaken for dead country and western singer Johnny Cash, I'm banging five women a week outside of marriage - some of them below the age of 75 ! To all you dark fingered head frauds out there, chuck out those plastic gloves and stock up on your rubber cock wellies - those ladies love the sight of a man with a head like a wire brush (rather than those baldy cunts like Doyle). All the best - Fingers

David,

Bit late with this comment but better late than never.

Try Brylcreem. You can get it in LOS. It gives your hair a bit of a shine (don't use too much), and it also gives it a darker look.

Yes, indeed, a pomade popular among U.K. geriatrics is just what the doctor ordered for breathing new life into tired hair! If you need more proof just watch the demimondaines crane their necks as you pass.

"Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya,
Brylcreem, you'll look so debonair!,
Brylcreem, the gals'll all pursue ya!,
They'll love to run their fingers through your hair"

Did you know?

Brylcreem was invented in 1929 at the Chemico Works in Bradford Street, Birmingham, England. Brylcreem's ingredients are: water, mineral oil, beeswax, fragrance, calcium hydroxide, BHT, dimethyl oxazolidine, magnesium sulfate, and stearic acid.

But I don't give a hoot!
