MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man may wish he had stuck with having dirty trousers after an imaginative attempt to purge a stubborn paint stain on them destroyed his apartment.

The unnamed Muscovite added a liter of petrol to his washing machine to help dissolve the stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday, but the ensuing explosion wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls.

Moscow police confirmed there had been an explosion in a south-eastern Moscow apartment, but would not comment on the cause.

Monte, you're just trying to deflect attention from the important stuff...

Since when were trouser stains of secondary importance?

Ed Asner misunderstood the title as "Trouser Stalin Destroys Apartment."

"Ed Asner's Trouser Stain" would be a good name for a band.
