Quickest way to dry jeans?

I've just had to wash some jeans by hand and I've hung them up above the radiator to dry. I was wondering, is there a quicker way to do it? Would I get away with waiting an hour then ironing while still damp?? I know its not a sensible idea but I need to wear them for travelling away tonight. Rep for the best suggestion, folks.

I use a hairdryer, works faster than a radiator but your arms might ache by the end of it...

Go running in the sun while waving them in the air.

Sun is usually pretty fast. How long do you have? I managed to get a pair wearable in 4 hours on a sunny day - 3 hours on the line, 1 hour when the radiator came on because it went cold.

Do the jeans not have any metal? Perhaps a zip or buttons. First that must be removed.

If you have a sloped tile roof which is in the sun put them on there, the tiles will dry the bottom, and the sun will dry the top. Turn them over after half an hour, just to make sure.

I always hand-wash my jeans - and everything else.

If you've got a tumble-drier, put them in there for half an hour.

Also who the **** irons jeans. If it's to dry them it won't, they'll just be warm and damp.

I think they will be dry now, it shouldn't take 9 years.
