Shocking Experience

So I get into the tram this morning, heading to the office, and the only available sear happened to be facing another one. Trams here have normal seats, like any other transport, though in the head wagon there are 3 which are perpendicular, for older people, and two opposite to them which face each other. So I got one of the latter, and it was facing a man who surely was dying. He was a human skeleton and his forehead and cheeks had scars, like sarcoma but pinkish and looking dirty.

Due to the seat arrangement, his feet and mine were touching hence his face was less than one meter from mine. I've never been so close to a human cadaver, I must say. The skin barely hid each and every shape of his skull, the lips and skin around the mouth were so thin and transparent that I could see his teeth, and his eyeballs were so deep inside the sockets that when blinked it was as if two caverns formed right in his face.

His hands... oh man, his hands were just bones and, overall, his whole complexion was way beyond the thinest person I've ever seen. He barely moved, other than to look outside the tram's window, pass some saliva, and the blinking. Even the slightest move he made was horribly slow and it gave the feeling as if he was going to crack like a crystal at any moment.

Open question

How can I keep my hair from getting damaged after curling it?
Is it true that mayonnaise is good for moisturizing it?

That wasn't a cadaver, it was the Grim Reaper.

Get ready.

Mayonnaise is an excellent furniture polish.

Used widely within the hospitality industry. Primary application (because

of mayo's unique properties)... wood furniture finish damage repairs.

I need more sauce.

Am I supposed to buy normal mayo off the supermarket shelf, pour some on a piece of fabric, rub it on the wood, and then clean it off immediately?

Two basic kinds of people in the world: complicators and simplifiers.

Walk to kitchen. Open frig. Find mayo. Rub on wood. Polish dry.

'Frig'? 'Rub on wood'? 'Polish dry'?

I don't eat mayo. I dislike it, actually. Hence, before I walk to the supermarket I must know more from a reliable source:

1. Any particular mayo you may recommend?

2. Should I polish with any particular fabric and liquid?

Thanks.
