Man-poo

Some of you might find this hard to believe, but if I have a feminine side it’s hidden so deep that hypnotherapy can’t even find it. Let me give you an example. I haven’t had to buy shampoo in a year and a half. We were given a gallon of shampoo by a company as part of a promotion and with my short hair that lasted for a long, long time. It doesn’t take much to wash my hair.

I finally ran out of shampoo and had to purchase some. Ktreva and I ran to the store on our lunch break to purchase some. I can go a day or two with out washing my hair, but after that it just feels nasty and I don’t need gel to keep it spiky. As soon as I turned to go down the shampoo aisle I noticed it was filled with all these funky scented and special needs shampoos. What the hell? A) I’m not buying anything that is going to smell like flowers. 2) I’m not buying anything to give my hair extra sheen and luster D) I’m definitely not buying something to give my hair more body and bounce.

I turn to Ktreva and say ”Do they even make a man’s shampoo? I’m not washing my hair with any of this girlie crap”Rolling her eyes, Ktreva loudly states that she will help my find man-shampoo. The other shoppers, all female, are smiling and chuckling. Ktreva, happy because she thinks she has gotten one over on me is also smiling. Not to be undone, I respond with ”Yes, that’s what I need Man-Poo.” Now everyone is laughing or looking on in shock. All Ktreva can do is try to hide her embarrassment over being seen in public with me at that moment.

We spent the next 20 minutes searching for something that would work. Then Ktreva find’s a bottle of stuff labeled, “Shampoo for men.” It’s a two in one deal that cleans and conditions. Like I care about conditioning. ”I told you I’d find a shampoo for men.” says Ktreva. Loudly I respond with, “Thank you for finding me man-poo.”

I don’t know why, but she ran out of the aisle trying to shield her face from the passer-bys staring at us.

You should market a shampoo for men! "Man-Poo, if it works for me, it'll work for you!"

Don't use shampoo - insist on real poo!

*snerk*

I thought real men just used the bar of soap!

You wash? Wimp.

Man-poo! :^D

BTW, what is this "conditioning" of which you speak?

and Bou: A bar of soap can be used only if the guy in question likes the feeling of having hair like toothpicks gouging into his scalp.

Or if he's bald. :^)

"but after that it just feels nasty and I don’t need gel to keep it spiky."

He may THINK it's "gel"......

I know Ktreva......I wouldn't put it past her......

ktreva - that is just one of the many reasons I love you so very much!!!

I use the generic "shampoo". Comes in a gallon container with a pump. Only have to get a new one about once a year. If I'm out, I use hand soap. My hair is also usually short enough that it doesn't need a lot of soap to clean it.
