Man Attacks Stain in Trousers...Destroys Apartment Mon Oct 13,10:36 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man may wish he had stuck with having dirty trousers after an imaginative attempt to purge a stubborn paint stain on them destroyed his apartment.

The unnamed Muscovite added a liter of petrol to his washing machine to help dissolve the stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday, but the ensuing explosion wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls.

Moscow police confirmed there had been an explosion in a south-eastern Moscow apartment, but would not comment on the cause.

This is exactly why I've argued for years that women should be completely in charge of doing the laundry.

This would qualify for "Darwan Award", "Just Damn", or "Hold muh vodka tovarich" threads.

Too bad he didn't just paint other parts of his trousers and start a fad.

LOL! This is why my wife won't let me do the laundry....

All women may not read beyond this point ..Men Only!

Clue to all you newlywed guys....Screw-up one load of laundry with one of your wife's favorite items, and she will restrict you from doing laundry for life!

Worked for me for 25 years now and counting!

NeverGore :^)

BTW - This approach also works with other household chores

Lemme give you a hint!

It works for the laundry but nothing else. Except cooking. But the deal is, I cook. He washes the dishes.

Hubby washed his new red nightshirt with the "whites" the year we got a washing machine for the first time. That would have been when we moved from an apartment to a house, in 1982. He indeed has not washed a single load of laundry since. But the downside is, he had to wear pink undershirts and undershorts until they wore out . . .

Hrmpt,

My hubby did that once.

So from then on, I did my laundry and let him do his own.

This reminds me of one of the funniest episodes of Fraiser that I've ever seen. Niles has a stain on his pants and by the time he's done, he's passed out from seeing blood and the couch is on fire...

very funny!

Can't say that I blame him. I bet Bill Clinton wishes he would have done more to remove that stain from Monica's dress...

The very surest way to get me to do something is to tell me not to do it!

(My mother said I would get the children I deserved. I did. :-D )

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]
