Don't do that you'll look stupid.

Can you cut a little of his moustache hair to experiment with?

(I agree that medium brown will look stupid.)

Well, I was toying with the idea of coloring my 'stache and/or beard, but
never did it. The weird thing was, I was going to color it all grey.

yeah...that's a good idea mac.

after Wally realized "yeah...men's hair, women's hair...no difference" he didn't actually say...."well then there's dozens of colors to chose from."

it's really stupid that this JFM product has basically 4 colors - black, 3 shades of brown, 2 shades of blonde...no wonder it looks dumb.

Unfortuanatley, I color my hair with a nod to flamboyant...it's been only recently I've gone for Auburn to auburn-brown.

And Wally is not Mr. Subtle.

Mr Wolf colors his mustache.

he uses a color 2 shades lighter then his natural hair and it sticks well to the grey.
You cant tell he does it at all..

Chai,

Can you ask them to vote based on the above color chart?

Strawberry blonde would do it for me.

So.... He goes to see his family and comes back all insecure?




Sounds like my family, except they like to talk about how fat people look.

I saw this guy at the gym the other day who colored his beard dark brown. It looked awful, I thought it was a fake beard actually but then I thought who would wear a fake beard while working out?

Wally was down at the bar last night for the Elk Club meeting and I thought he looked quite dashing in his freshly-pressed uniform. But after a few drinks he started to complain to me about the gray flecks in his moustache and his possible experimentation with coloring. (He mentioned your disapproval, Chai, and seemed genuinely hurt and confused by your reaction)

Anyway, I told Wally I thought he was crazy and I also said, "Hell, Wally, look at my beard and moustache. They're shock white and don't look too bad."

Wally said, "Gus, looking at your beard and moustache is the EXACT reason I want to color mine. No hard feelings, Gus, but I am just not ready to look like an old coot."

I was momentarily set back by his statement and stroked my beard in a pensive manner. Soon his cruel words drifted away from my memory like smoke and I returned to the manner at hand.

"Wally, I am going to place a photo of you on the wall here so the rest of the Elks can examine it during the course of the week. I will place the questions below it in bold type and they shall read: Does Wally's moustache look gray? Should he color it?

Then I will place a cardboard box with a little slot cut in the top for the votes to go, and put a bunch of pieces of paper in a dish alongside. On the paper they can cast their votes; YES, moustache is gray--color it! or YES, moustache is gray, but leave it alone or NO, I see no discernible signs of gray -- leave it alone.

After the votes have been cast, Wally, we will tally them and the majority shall rule. Can you live with the decision of the Elks?

Wally muttered something barely audible, but I think it was, "Sure, Gus, the Elks have been more understanding regarding this issue than Chai has."

I said, "What did you say, Wally?"

"Oh, nothing, Gus. Your idea sounds good. Take the picture and put it on the wall."

I grabbed my camera and told Wally to give me his best profile and I took the shot...










Sometime next week I will return with the final vote and we can put this matter to rest.

Glad I could help, Chai.

Thanks gus, you saved our marriage....again.

Stopped by Walgreens and bought several colors, but none were right.

I was telling him "your hair is actually not brown at all where it's darkest in the back....it's a charcoal grey. It was frustrating because he couldn't see what I was talking about. It's hard to judge when you have to look in the mirror

Then I looked up and realized that Jezebel the cat is the same colors and Wallys head, ranging from that dark grey to light and lighter, with flecks of silver.

So we held the boxes up to her, and realized we were on the wrong track anyway.

But then, disgusted with the whole affair, I went up and smootched him about a dozen times, telling him how handsome he was, and that I thought his moustache looked wonderful.

He fell for it.

Glad that's over.

(really though, I do think he looks good)

Mr. Joe was asked if he'd like a "rinse" one time a few years back.

"Sure" he replied, thinking they meant creme rinse.

Well done chai. :wink: Sounds like that's all he needed!
