My brother almost had a serious encounter...one time he needed his jock strap washed for his upcoming high school football game, and my mom had forgotten to wash it...so she went downstairs to the basement, threw it into the washing machine all by itself, waited for it to finish washing, and then threw it, all by itself into the dryer...and set the dryer on extra hot, I guess...then she came back upstairs
A while later, my aunt came running upstairs, screaming that the dryer was on fire...my brothers jock strapped was burned to a cinder...guess mom left it in too long...
Dad laughed, saying my brother nearly had 'Great Balls of Fire'
Revenge of the Machines..
