Introducing: Brow-agra

By Walter, K5EST FP#-840

This morning while splitting firewood there was this wire looking eyebrow hair
that was twitching every time I would adjust my glasses. Not only was this
eyebrow hair twitching it was ugly, stiff like a corn stalk, and sorta
looked like
a hair horn of about #24 AWG wire. Well, I plucked that thing. You know if it
had a hole in one end it could be a sewing needle.

Then, it come to me. "Brow-agra" ..........this would be a common persons
Viagra substitute. Shoot, its gonna last longer than that 4 hour worry they tell
you about on TV. And you could either grow your own, or if you are too active
then you could buy some of them off of the "Pig List" at a oo's membership
discount.

Whoa, I am getting ahead of the game. Well, we still got to get those
little hair
wires washed, dried, quality checked, and then into some capsule pill.
Speaking of quality checking, I am going out on an ice covered pond and say I
bet those with a light touch of gray highlight are going to be the A++++
grade and the total gray are going to be too droopy and only make the A+
grading. Still to be determined is what color is going to be best and then a
certain shade or highlight that will be the "Brow King."

Now, just in case you are chuckling and thinking you are going to make a
million out of my ideas, you just hold up with plucking yourself. We have to put
some kind of disclaimer on the bottle of "Brow-agra" that would not be
deceiving to the folks that have to purchase instead of pluck.

It is right at 11 1/2 deg. F at lunch time and I have to finish some wood
splitting and get it stacked for the next snow storm tomorrow. After that I'm
going to hit the recliner and grab a mirror and start counting brow hairs cause
this just couldn't be a dream!
