The all new "I wonder what would happen if..." thread
« on: September 16, 2007, 05:57:53 PM »
WE all know that human curiousity knows no bounds. I have had this thread before, I think. Maybe it's a boy thing.

I am sure we can all learn from one another. MIcrowaving things that shouldn't be microwaved, for example. Just to see what, er, happens.

Of knocking down chimneys for no reason. Or poking badgers. eeek:

Today's was disgusting.

Marmite has taken to eating, with our help of course, sachets of food. She would never get through a tin quick enough and then they stank.

Today I reached for a sachet and found it SWOLLEN to heroic proportions. SOme kind of infestation. It was as tight as a drum.

I put it on the back step by itself. LAter I thought I should dispose of it before it went off like a hand grenade. I walked it to the bin and was about to drop it in when 2 thoughts occured:

1. What if it goes off in the bin? eeek:

2. What would happen if I just dropped a brick on it?

After some thought, I opted for 2.

CHRIST. BANG. Some foul evil smelling slime shot out and polluted the entire open air. It also sprayed itself all over our neighbour's convertible. eeek: eeek:

As a mature responsible person I considered carefully what to do or say about this "accident". After some consideration I fled the scene. "2" hours later the stench is still hanging in the air (after a rainstorm)!

Given your history Nick, who do you think the finger of suspicion will be pointing at??

I would have done the same by the way.

I cleared out the old fireplace today (stand upwind when you empty the ashes) and discovered the remains of my experiments, tin cans, candles, etc.

Oh dear.  cry:

I'd have thought you'd know better Nick - after all, if it's swollen up (pretty much like the badger was), then there's a good chance nasty things will happen if you poke it with a stick or drop bricks on it!

I suspect this was a deliberate act (vengeance maybe?) aimed at polluting you neighbour's car  rubschin:
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

With hindsight, if it was within its sell-by date you could have taken it back and got about a squillion Pounds compo?  whistle:

You could at least claim that Marmite ate one (from the same batch) and had been destroying duvets ever since?

Walking into the shop holding the bag in fire tongs and wearing asbestos gloves and a welder?s mask would have added to the power of your argument?  whistle:

Good plan. I had to rummage for something in Mrs Nick's handbag earlier. It's like a Tardis. SO much stuff!
