Well, not quite but almost. Went to do my laundry in La Lavanderia yesterday and couldn´t help but notice that the dryer was on fire. I'd already handed over my clothes, so was understandably quite concerned - "Argh! Su Maquina esta en fuego!" (argh, your machine is on fire)....the laundry lady didn´t seem worried so i thought maybe i was having a bad spanish day and tried "¿pero, la maquina es muy caliente, no?" (but the machine is very hot isn´t it?).
After trying twice, i figured she must know what she was doing...but literally, there were FLAMES coming out of the top of the machine!!!!
I went back later, fully expecting at least to receive a bag of ashes instead of my clothes, if not find the whole laundry place burned to a crisp. Miraculously, i was instead presented with the cleanest, nicest smelling, best folded laundry i´ve ever seen!!!
How is this possible?!

¡Es un milagro! ¡El realismo mágico es vivo y bien en México!
Oh yeah....where are the pics? A dryer EN FUEGO and no pics???
Clearly the machine in question was actually a still disguised as a washing machine and the flames were the alcohol fumes ingiting spontaneously in contact with the air.
This also explains how the clothes became so clean and well pressed as the lady was in fact operating a dry cleaning facility
Really! Well at least it dried your clothes quicker than you expected!!xx
