Have you ever done anything so silly
That you didn't want anyone to know about it, yet it is just too funny/silly/ridiculous you can't keep it a secret? Well, I did something today that meets that criteria.
Here's the scenario:
I am doing laundry. The dark clothes are in the dryer, and I am a preparing to do a load of whites I want to bleach. The ritual is I first pour a cup of bleach directly into the washer, along with a capful of Resolve. Then I turn the washer on to let it fill and dilute the bleach. This plan dictates I add the clothes within a minute or so of starting the washer. Today, it ran for 14 minutes. And this is the result when I opened the door to put in the clothes
There was soap foam EVERYWHERE! About 1.5 feet deep - it came up to my knees! At first, I couldn't even see the handle on the washer door as the foam covered it. It just kept coming and coming. I slammed the door shut and stood there in disbelief. Of course I had to open the door of the washer again just to see what the heck was going on. More foam spewed out. I turned off the washer, shoved the load of whites in and shut the door and began to clean up the foam. I picked up armfuls of foam and threw it out the back door. That's when I thought I needed to take some photos on the off chance I wanted to share this little experience with the world. As a result iin the photo taking delay, there is just a little bit of the soap foam left to show, but you probably get the idea.
You can see how high it was in front of the washer (who I shall now call Madame Sudsy) by the foam still on the wall. The blob of foam was that high, about 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. Quick math tells me that it was about 9 cubic feet of foam.
Awesome. Simply awesome. It reminds me of the time when I was a teenage and poured a bottle of Lemon Fresh Joy into the fountain at Fairview Mall on a dare. I wish I had a photo of that. And yes, I won the dare.

| you can actually see the foam inside the washer right up to the top of the tub. That's a lot of foam. |
