Adam King (MI) 1 Report post Posted March 17, 2004 You guys kill me. Okay, here is the "infamous bread pipe bomb story". I was doing a rehab last year and had a small plumbing problem. There was a pipe that was sticking out of one of the bedroom walls that I had to cut short and cap so I could drywall over it. Well, I never did any plumbing so I had to go off of the sole advice of a part time Home Depot employee. He told me how to solder and flux, so I purchased a torch and was on my way. Got back to the house and turned the water off so I could get a dry pipe to solder. Well, the pipe had other plans and continued to leak. I couldn't get it dry enough to solder so I called back my Home Depot "professional" to get advice. Well, all you have to do is stick some bread in the pipe so it will stop the leaking. This should give you enough time to solder and the bread will biodegrade after you're done. Sounds fair enough, off to Farmer Jack to buy a loaf of bread. I returned, stuffed the bread (The whole loaf) into the pipe and started soldering. To my amazement it worked....for a minute. Once the caps were on good and tight, I heard a small "hsssss" coming from the pipe. Of course, the water created steam and made the seal start to leak. Well, after an unsuccessful attempt at removing the now soldered cap off the pipe with pliers so I could try it again, I decided to do the next best "rational" thing. I grabbed the torch. Now, theory has it that if you heat the pipe up again the solder would simply melt and the cap would fall off. Wrong. When you heat a pipe with water in it, it creates steam. And everything behind it is now compressed....or was compressed. There I was standing directly in front of the pipe heating it up....and then...BAM! The cap blew off and the WHOLE LOAF OF HOT MOLTEN BREAD blew off with it. And of course, I was standing in front of it. I got blown backwards about ten feet and was now covered with molten hot bread. I swear there was an outline of me on the back wall as the bread covered it. And of course.....my wife just happened to stop by to see how things were going.... Yup, that's right.

MichaelC 160 Report post Posted March 17, 2004 Funny tale, Adam! So, I guess in your family bread stuffing has a whole different meaning. Who needs a turkey when there are hot pipes waiting to be seasoned and heated?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
