Don't try this at home....

Don't try this at home. You know those things that you see on TV when people do dumb things. Well two days ago after WB went to work and I was looking at all my files. I decided it was time to shred a few old things. So I made my pile which was quite large and started to shred away. The shredder I have is not known for doing large jobs so it slows down and and has to rest. It even stops if it gets to hot. Which did happen I let it cool while I cruised the Internet. After a while I thought that lube that I use on my bike cleats should help things run smoother. So I sprayed some in and it worked great. When the machine slowed down again I decided to spray some while it was going to spread the lube around better. I did and it worked much better but about a minute later flash, boom, and a large bit of hair on my forearm and leg disappeared in a flash. I thought just my luck now I have ruined the shredder. After having a car towed, now one more expense due to dumbness. But after pulling the machine apart finding nothing burnt, not even the shredded paper it came back to life. Now, I read the label on this great silicon based lube. Highly flammable!!!!! Don't try this at home.
