There was a real chance it would not wash out ...

What do pink hair and the first nuclear explosion have in common?

See, before the first tested nuclear explosion it has been reported that the scientists debated whether the chain reaction would stop or if it would actually cause a cascading reaction leading to the entire atmosphere burning off of the earth. They tested the bomb.

Yesterday, the girls decided to have their hair match their uniforms and it was suggested that my hair should follow.

My hair is mostly white. Although the stuff is supposed to just wash out the whiteness of the hair made it possible that the temporary color would actually stain and tint my hair; leaving it pink. I would either need to leave it pink ... or chop it all down really, really, really, really short.

My bro offered me $100 for shaving my head if it didn't come out. He was serious. So was I. I considered - briefly - the notion that I would fake it and let him and wear a hat for a week or two given how fast my hair grows and that I could use the money.

It washed out.
