As I turned to leave with his small bottle tucked inside my suit coat pocket a thought hit. Turning around I went back into the shop which seemed to startle the little man.
"Yea Sir what can I do for you?" asked the man.
"I know what you could sell me, see!" as I bend down and tip my balding head toward the man.
A chucle from the man as he quickly walks to the far side of the shop. Climbing on a chair he reaches high to get a flat round jar. The jar reminded me of a car wax tub, being it was plastic and black of color.
"Yea want hair on your head, a good reason I see. This should do the trick!" said the man with a smile.
I went to take it from him as his face changed suddenly to a frown.
"Yea be careful with this it strong salve! Use only once a day on head only, never on body! Put small amount on these two fingers only and rub. Wash fingers in very hot water and soap quickly right after. Oh might use laytex glove instead." suggested the man.
I opened the jar and took a short sniff. A odd smell, giving off a warm but musky smell which in my opinion was rather nice. "How much I ask?"
The little man look up at me and said, "Twenty bucks!"
I gave him a twenty and he put the jar in a brown paper bag. Taking the bag I went to rxit with my prize just as the little man called to me.
"Head only, head only, never use on body!"
The door closed behind me as his words still went on about never use...
I never in my life was so disturbed about the drive home. I yelled at traffic and told many a driver my I.Q. number. An hour later I bolted up the driveway to the house.
