Snap, Crackle, Cash...
Ok, so the other day I remember that I had placed $30 in my back pocket and forgot to take it out before my pants went into the washer. I grabbed the folded, wet bills before they were thrown in the dryer and was waving them back and forth to dry them off.
Then I had a brainstorm: the microwave! I placed the bills flat in the nuker, set it for 10 seconds, and walked away. "That oughta help," I thought. About 5 seconds later I was running towards the fireworks coming from inside the cat cooker, frantically pushing at the buttons to end the cash crispifying that was going on. I hadn't really thought about the metal strip embedded in our Canadian moolah and it's possible tendency to spark when being deluged by waves of micro energy. Anyways, the cash was warm and damp, but no worse for wear. Chalk that one up to having a blonde moment.
In other news, my father-in-law and I are wearing the exact same shirt today. I think it's a sign that I should have stayed in bed....

When i was a smoker (over two years clean of that nasty habit now. hurray for me!) i tried that microwave thing with a cigarette that i had gotten wet.
Can you say "flambe" ?

Okay, I don't really get what is so funny. Its ingenious, really. I love the "quicker, the better" approach! I usually just leave the money in the dryer, and then collect it as a tip later. It is a bit slower, and definately no side show to observe. But, about the blond moment, ... that might become funnier as you get older!
