Hair Removal and Hot Ointments

Kenn and Ron take things back to the 1970s with another round of unforgettable high school track stories—this time featuring a mix of pranks, poor decisions, and plenty of laughs.The first tale centers on a classic locker room prank: someone secretly slipped hair-removal cream into a teammate’s varsity jacket sleeves. The result? One very confused (and suddenly very smooth-armed) athlete. To this day, the culprit remains a mystery.The second story shifts to a dedicated—but slightly over-the-top—long-distance runner who swore by using extra-strength warming ointments to battle the cold. Despite constant warnings from teammates to go easy, he didn’t hold back. During one two-mile race, things took a painful turn when the ointment made its way into his eyes. What followed was a chaotic attempt to finish the race while half-blinded, yelling, and tearing up—earning more laughs than sympathy from the sidelines.From harmless pranks to questionable race-day decisions, these stories capture the wild, anything-goes spirit of 1970s high school sports.Another nostalgic—and hilarious—installment from Boomers on the Edge.Boomers rating: Under the Edge.Send us Fan Mailhttps://[email protected]
