POST.by Sheila in SiteFORSoreEyes  Get It Back discussion forum: "Hello, I am a 26 year old female with thinning    hair and I recently started using women's    rogaine as well as a topical shen-min solution.   Although I'm not sure if your method will work    for me, I am going to try it by not using shampoo.   But do you think it is ok to continue using these    other products as well to promote the regrowth    (especially since I'm not washing any of it out    with shampoo)?  It would be nice to have your    opinion on this. Thank you in advance. "  REPLY:

IF ANY.hair treatment product really.worked,
it would be a NEWS.ITEM and the hair loss forums would talk it up so much
that ad budgets would be.slashed.to the minimum and profit margins would soar.

David Letterman (The Late Show on CBS at 11:30 p.m. Eastern Time)
would certainly already be telling everyone about it.
He occasionally remarks his own balding head.
Celebrities would be burning their hairpieces.

David Letterman would probably have a weekly "Rug Burning Party."
                           with a guest Celebrity.striking.the match...
instead of his usual fare of tossing melons, wedding cakes, etc., off the roof.

A."wild man"Celebrity might even shed his.Toupee on the show
and let George Foreman grill it on his."lean, mean grilling machine".

I'd love to help write his TopTen.List.of

"Alternative uses for rugs."

 #2. Include in dictionary as a synonym for ideas or anything

And just for "What if?" fun:
