gasoline in the Maytag 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
One of my co-workers, an R.N., related this "embarrassing" story from some years back.
She had been putting a tar sealer on the driveway. When finished, she began cleaning up, using gasoline to clean the tar off of herself. She had stripped down to her panties, throwing her clothing into the washer. Seeing the tar on her sneakers, she threw them in the washer, added about a half-quart of gasoline, and started it. She was still in the walk-out basement when the machine hit the spin cycle and an explosion knocked the house askew on its foundation. She ran out with extensive second-degree burns and the elastic of her panties fused to her. Remarkably, she bears little scarring from the event.
This was confirmed by several co-workers who have known her for many years. The story was well-known at Lake Regional Hospital in Camdenton, MO. Submitted on 04/06/2003
