Music Therapy For The Dyslexic Reader?
a: Jazz ~
b: Motor Oil for the dyslexic mind
What: Jazz is like the motor oil of your mind,

Maybe It's The Coffee?
a: Caffeine ~
b: a temporary hair darkener
What: "See, caffeine is like a temporary hair darkener. I feel odd because this post is going to be so short because it is so damn easy. But all you have to do is brew a few cups of straight up black coffee, and rinse with it after shampoo and conditioner. Do this everyday for a few weeks and your hair will turn a few shades darker."
