"I'm washing my hair"

what a strange question

I wash my hands of it

a traditional curtain raiser of a response

it was probably something like "happy days" that started it

wasn't it from those eighties anti-smoking ads where one boy says to another if you blow smoke in a girl's face she'll fink you're well buff an that, and so he does it and she's grossed out and says 'not tonight i'm washing my hair'?

"When Muhammad bathed because of sexual intercourse, he first washed his hands; he then poured water with his right hand on his left hand and washed his private parts. He then performed wudu as is done for prayer. He then took some water and ran his fingers in the roots of his hair. And when he found that it had been properly moistened, he poured three handfuls on his head."

i remember that ad but surely that wasn't the first instance of it. i think it's from Samson and Delilah. (xp)

It's been around for a lot longer than the 80s - 60s prolly or mibbe 50s

I recently told someone I couldn't do something because I was installing my air conditioner, which they took as "I'm washing my hair."

IS that a woman or Mr Punch?

Have you, or anyone you know actually *used* that line?

I once asked a girl in Brussels out on a date, and she told me she couldn't because she had to "work on her etchings". And I could tell from the look on her face that she wasn't joking about this.

well exactly -- is this phrase purely the invention of sitcom writers?

i wish i had used that line at least once but i don't think i have ;(

Sitcom writers don't invent anything.

there was a time when women washed their hair less and styled it for like a week at a time, slept in curlers, all that shit. it was a big deal! for women. who lie.
