Unusual Uses of Everyday objects

I think it could be a fun contest to show unusual uses for everyday objects. Expert editing for those who are truly creative in post processing and good fun for practice for those of us who aren't. The usage doesn't have to be legitimate, but if you can think of how to make it legit, even better.

Examples: Using a hairdryer to clear snow from a driveway; Using a weed-whacker for a haircut... or something less intensive like using your car to crack open walnuts by driving over them.

Hey jerkwad, you just gave away my three best ideas. Looks like I'm not entering this one anymore.

I knew of a guy some years ago that used a washing machine for an auto parts washer. He filled the thing with gasoline and auto parts. Pressed the start button and BOOM! He was vaporized in a huge ball of fire. His family sued the manufacturer of the washing machine.

You mean stuff like that?

I like the idea!

Here's a simplistic, but relevant example:

I think I can get one humorous shot something funny for this challenge. Best in Advance but whatever editing is ok to me.

I thought of something similar to this recently while I was having dinner. I would like this challenge!
