    • the cure for gray hair

      "There is only one cure for gray hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine."

      The English used the axe for centuries before the guillotine.

              marnita on 2017-05-23 09:32:56
              As addictions go, cryptograms are probably one of the best. And yes, I agree, the hyphen should go.

                                Ahhhhhh....Danny Kaye singing me to sleep. So glad I stuck around.
