Explosive Hits (Not The K-Tel Collection!)

Those of us of a certain age probably had a K-tel conglomeration of contemporary pop tunes titled 'Explosive Hits' in our K-tel flip finder (yours for just $2.99) wherein we stored our vinyl. I have been thinking about other explosive hits, shall we say, and set out hereunder is my list of things that have a propensity to explode or blow up:

1. Baked potatoes.  Pierce the skin, always.



2. Light bulbs.  I've had this happen.  A crystalline sounding explosion and a hail of shards all over my dining room floor later.



3. Shaken soft drink bottles.  Stop doing this.  It isn't funny.



4. Propane tanks.



5.  Gas-hotplates/grills.  Lit the grill in a share house of which I was a tenant in 1986 - WOOOF!! - simultaneous loud noise and bright flare.  Me standing in stupefied horror with singed eyebrows and fringe ensued.



6.  Any explosive of the Acme brand.  Just ask Wile  E Coyote.



7.  Employment Minister Michaelia Cash's hair when near a naked flame.  Seriously, how much hairspray must she use?



8.  Contacting the media about the AFP raid on the offices of the AWU so the media arrives at the offices of the AWU BEFORE THE AFP DOES!  See where I'm going with this, Ms Cash?  And keep your head away from naked flames.
