3x-xx-xx ep042 The Man Who Had Green Hair

The makers of X-Laks present strange as it seems. Can you name the invisible thief that took more than a half billion dollars out of the pockets of Americans last year that robbed millions of children of time in school and adults of days at work?

No. Well, it's the common cold that to this day baffles scientists and doctors. Although we don't know what causes colds, we do know some simple rules to help their prevention and care. Eat wisely, get enough sleep, dress warmly, keep your feet dry, and above all keep regular.

But in keeping regular, be sure to take a laxative that is correctly timed, like X-Lax. Besides being mild and gentle, X-Lax is so correctly timed that it won't shock or upset your system, yet it's completely thorough and effective. And you won't mind taking it, because it tastes just like delicious chocolate. Just ten cents a box at any drug store. So always

keep a plentiful supply of X-Lacks in your medicine chest. It's the one laxative that will serve the whole family. The man who had green hair. Would you dye your hair green in order to get publicity.

Not many people would, but the French poet Charles Baudelaire not only did this, but he, well, meet Charles Baudelaire himself, Paris, 1860. Baudelaire sits in a little restaurant in the Latin Quarter, alone at a table, widely looking over the other guests.

At another table, a man and girl are whispering together. They watch Baudelaire with fascinated eyes. Oh, Goose, that man knows us, queasy. Charles Baudelaire. At last I see him. Oh, but he has green hair.

He dies at green. It's all part of his pose. Oh, he has a strange face. I am not sure. I like it, Manami. But he's a great genius, Ma'Shea. Oh, look, he beckons to us.
