I was on a night shift on the Emergency Unit and Pam decided to warm up a bread roll in the microwave. She didn’t set a timer so you can tell what happened. The emergency buzzer sounded. We zoomed over to the bay and dealt with the problem before returning to the rest room. We opened the door to thick smoke an a strong burning smell. Opening the microwave door, Pam found a lump of black coal that had previously been a bread roll. She threw it out of the window into the ward garden. The smell lasted for days while the coal roll lay in the garden as even the birds refused to touch it. And I don’t blame them.
(wonders whether this was in reference to certain waves often called “microwaves” or certain machines often called either “microwaves” or “microwave ovens”)

Jon also said something similar back in the early days.
“A watched pot never boils.”

Most pizza connoisseurs I know would turn their noses up at Totino’s Pizza rolls … ugh!

That might be the wisest thing Jon has ever said!

If patience is a virtue, then Garfield would be the most unvirtuous one out there!

Is it me, or is Garfield getting fatter?

My microwave beeps at intervals after it is done to remind me. I muted it until I realized how much it sounded like a friend nudging me.

The pizza rolls would taste better if cooked in a regular oven. Then again, Jon probably doesn’t know how to use a regular oven.

The only kind of frozen pizza that I will ever eat is Tony’s. Red Baron? No. Tostino’s? Never. Digiorno? Yuck!

Microwave does ding. It even tells you when it’ll do it.
… unless there is a power surge.

Pizza rolls always seem to take forever when you’re starving!

In Garfield’s case, patience is futile, he wants the pizza rolls NOW!!!.
