Yesterday Janice pointed out that the young lady drinking Ovaltine at bedtime seemed to have tremendous hair growth overnight. This could indeed be a problem. But no worries, I have the antidote right here. Seriously, why is she dating this cretin? I'll let the copy speak for itself. Oh those chatty helpful people at NEET are just marvelous.

I have only one question....why were these women hanging out in one of their bedrooms clad only in their underwear? Is Mary a closet bisexual?
ReplyDeleteYou know, those old b/w movies, pre-code days, the roommates were always hanging out in their apartments in their undies. I was always a little suspicious about what was going on. So I guess this "comic strip" would be pre-code.
ReplyDeleteHehehehe.....
ReplyDeleteIf the guy only knew - Gillette would be out of business. I mean, if it works on an arm or leg, why wouldn't it work on your face? Or back? We could have a NEET party in the privacy of our shower and share our experiences in cartoon balloons...
ReplyDeleteYes, but as long as she has one leg on the floor it's not a problem. Even if it is a hairy leg ha ha ha! I think I would be tempted to take my razor to that moron, he certainly wouldn't be getting a second chance or a second feel!
ReplyDeleteOh Dave, don't give Madison Ave. any ideas. Next we'll see woman having Neet parties, all throwing their heads back, laughing like idiots...and I'll be left yelling at my TV "You bimbos, you're high on the fumes!!!"
ReplyDeleteShaving arms...I never heard of it. But I always wondered what stay-at-home wives with no kids did during the day when they weren't playing with Spry and spray starch. Now I know!
ReplyDeleteI've never known of anyone to shave the top of their arms, but I do remember some product being sold years ago in an infomercial. It was an Australian woman who'd invented some hair removal gunk because her daughters had hairy forearms. Haven't seen those commercials in a very long time. Anybody remember those?
ReplyDeleteTattered: That would be the oddly named "Nads" hair removal system...
ReplyDeleteI too wondered why friends were hanging in their undies...but I love the "men hate that" comment about stubbly arm hair...

Dear Lord, I remember when women shaved their arms... I remember as a kid being obsessed that I might have to do it when I grew up.
ReplyDeleteIn the early 50's we were taught to smooth our arms a couple times a day to insure the hair was "tamed". This was all in a family of little to no "body" hair.
Yes, Barbara, Nads, that was it! What is is with the letter "N" and hair removal? Neet, Nads, Nair? Are there others? Why did become the letter of choice for hair removal systems? Something odd to contemplate while falling to sleep at night from an overdose of Ovaltine.
ReplyDeleteOh Eloh, I never heard of taming the hair. I do remember smoothing the hair on my arm as a kid during nap time at school. Kept me from going completely bonkers. Gave me something to do as I had my head down on the stupid desk.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time...
ReplyDeleteBwah, ha, ha, shrinking men...eeeuugh. New text coming up for this one too.
