Fire in a teacup

Fire in a steam inhaler rather. So yours truly is down with a nasty cold; and a sore throat to boot. Yesterday morning I decide to do something about it. Salt water gargles and inhale steam ie.
So I heat some water in a vessel on the stove, pour some into my favorite teddy bear glass, tip a teaspoonful of salt into it, and start gargling. Ouch - too hot - tip some hot water back into the vessel (beeeg mistake) pour some cold water into the glass and go on gargling.
Next I get to the steamer. Since the water is already hot in the vessel, I decide to add that to the steamer (which otherwise takes a full 10 min to start steaming). Plug it in, and turn it on.
Aanndd FLASH! and flash again - inside the water even!. /me really wonders wotsup.
Turns out that the salt from my gargling water is the culprit. This is getting to be a chemistry lesson even.
Basically: water + salt + heat + electricity leaking from the heating element == flashes inside the water!
How kewl is that.
So heck I did turn off the steamer immediately and threw out the offending water. I pour in regular water, wait 10 min, an voila, I am back in business.
PS: I gotta replace the heating element on that steamer - but it works just fine. I know it leaks a bit of current - but that never hurt anyone, did it? ;)

Funny song

This is a funny song that played on the radio today:

Artist: Joe Nichols
Song: Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off

She said I’m going out with my girlfriends
Marguerite is at the holiday inn
Oh have mercy my only thought
Was tequila makes her clothes fall off
I told her put an extra layer on
I know what happens when she drinks patron?
Her closets missing half the things she bought
Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off

She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink

Them panty hose aint gonna last too long
If the dj puts bon jovi on
She might come home in a table cloth
Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off

She can handle any champagne brunch
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff
But tequila makes her clothes fall off

She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink

She don’t mean nothing
She just havin fun
Tomorrow she say oh what have I done
Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost
Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off
