OT - Master of the obvious.

While pouring the much needed remains of the pot of coffee, I glanced up at
the microwave to see what time it was. "NOW," it proclaimed. Thanks a bunch.
"COOLING", it went on to say. Over and over. I was still giggling to myself
about this new fangled technology when it sunk in that "NOW COOLING" meant
I'll have blueberry muffins shortly. Should've taken the time to brew a
second pot of coffee. One isn't doing the job today.

Right there with you, buddy. I can only eat breakfast after about
10:00 am.

I chuckle about our PT cruiser display. I says "door ajar" when I open
the door and "doors ajar" when my wife does also. A car that cares about
the difference between singular and plural!

I had a client come in and have me make a sign for his bar:

"Beer, it is not just for breakfast anymore."

Our dishwasher switches from counting down the time remaining to
flashing "HO" for a while in the middle of the cycle. I can't figure
out if it thinks it's Santa or doesn't like SWMBO.

Out vehicles say that also however I don't think the door is actually "a
jar."

Well, that does happen to be my breakfast most of the time, so it does
qualify as a meal. ;)

Angela likes to make me a solid meal on the weekends. During the week,
well, we're all too damn busy to eat a proper breakfast, green tea and
a banana and I'm good till mmm about 11-ish then it is next door to
John's and I eat.
BUT... on Saturdays?? "Here, hon, have this moose-ka-bab!. "It is
lean!" " Oh?? You don't like those pork-chops hanging off the end of
it??" "Let me crack you a couple of oh-s0-yummy Grolsch lagers" before
I feed you this bacon soup......"


.
.
.
.
...then I wake up and eat green stuff.

Mm

Ours did that, too. Until I threw it out in the driveway and crushed it
under the truck.

I don't need some machine telling me what to do.
