This story resonates with me because when I was a child I did the same thing only it was a Wendy’s hamburger wrapped in tin foil that I used to start a fire and blowup the microwave. My parents were furious.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30750?basename=629022008-05-17T02:36:21Zthebetweenspacehttp://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspaceComment on When You Blow Your Microwave Up [[Make Me Laugh Challenge]]<p>the last line made the story.
