Drying paper in a microwave...not good.

[Berties]

Put a tea towel in the microwave to dry it once and set it on fire! Flames coming out the vents,but did work afterwards,not the tea towel though

Why what?

Well, why would you try drying paper in a microwave?!!

Then again, from the mandatory fire training I attended at work, I have been told of the many fires that the fire service have been called out to involving toasters, due to things such as someone trying to melt cheese in 1, cook a pizza in 1 and dry underwear in 1 (a toaster that is, not a microwave) and so perhaps I shouldn't be shocked?

I have dried damp cotton underwear in a microwave... lovely and warm on a cold morning but make sure you allow enough 'standing time' ...

A friend once tried to dry his trousers in the microwave with similar incendiary outcome.

He had to endue "liar liar pants on fire" to this day

Note:this really happened, not (only) an excuse for a cheap joke.

I figured the microwave would heat up the damp paper and assist in the drying process. It was a bit too successful, as it turned out.

You should have ordered rare not well done. A lesson learnt even at your vast age Slomo.

A word of caution. Don't try to use an iron to dry rail tickets, they use thermal printing and the whole ticket goes black.

I went to a meeting in London with a colleague, and they asked for expenses claims.

So we all filled them out attached "proof, collected the money and went on our happy way home.


Which was when my colleague realised that she had attached her rail tickets as proof to the expenses form!

Me and a friend found a fiver laying on the side of the road it was pouring with rain so peeled it off the road carefully then took it home and dried it with a hair dryer worked perfectly!! (We then went to the chippy and got sausage and chips to share)

Dont try to impress @slowmotion with your £5 storey. On the last fnrttc he told us about the time he stopped at a red light, saw a £20 on the road and just left it!!! Wierdo.

It was in the middle of Hammersmith roundabout! If the lights had changed as I reached down for it, I'd have been toast....very flat toast at that....chapati even...
