Do not dry pants in the oven...
One would think that by getting up an extra hour early, I would have plenty of time to get to work. This is not the case though, especially since I had no clean pants and my dryer doesn?t work. This was my predicament this morning. I had a wet pare of kackies that I needed dry. The mistake I made was assuming that the oven would do just as good of job as the dryer. It doesn?t, for those of you who don't know that yet. I didn't have a big pan or a big oven (it was an electric oven for those of you who think that this story might end with fire, it doesn?t). I had to fold the pants three times to fit them on the pan and get them in. To make a long story shorter, I pulled the pants out and they were not evenly dry. There were some wet spots still, but the water was evaporating do to the high temperature of the pants (I could not even hold them they were so hot). I then noticed something different about the pants. They were discolored; the ends that were folded were discolored. I was appalled, my nice new pants looked like some three year old tried to tie die them and failed. I had purple streaks on my once brown pants....it was a disaster. What is the moral of the story? Wearing wet pants is better then purple striped pants.
