Bathroom ordinance

If you put a bar of soap into a microwave it will rapidly expand into a large microwave-interior-filling block of solid foam. All meals prepared in the microwave for months afterwards will, I'm reliably informed by the one person who I have pulled this trick on who still speaks to me, taste of soap. Great icebreaker for parties (at other people's houses).

I HAVE NOT attempted this but APPARENTLY if you put a can of shaving foam (the old fashioned white kind rather than poncey new-fangled 'gel' or similar) in the freezer for a VERY LONG TIME, the contents will solidify and it will then be possible to saw off the nozzle bit WITHOUT the pressurised container exploding and knacking you up right proper. You then simply place your open-to-the-elements can of frozen foam in the wardrobe/room/car etc of your choice and hey presto! As soon as the fucker melts it instantly expands into a Ford-Fiesta-sized mound of shaving foam. HOWEVER - accurately judging whether your foam grenade is indeed frozen solid or still under sufficient pressure to knack-you-up-right-proper-when-sawed-into is, I would say, somewhat difficult. I therefore take no responsibility for any of you chimps trying it and blowing your hands off - I am not at home to amputee wannabe-saboteur lynch mobs.
