Mysteries of the Universe

How is it that my employer doesn't blink at purchasing millions of dollars in computer servers on a whim, but somehow can't acquire a microwave more powerful than an E-Z Bake oven for our pantry?

I think it has something to do with playing to one's strengths. Obviously, the company needs to hire a consultant specializing in microwave oven advising.

Maybe I'm in the wrong line of work.

Dogbert's Pantry Appliance Consultations. Has a nice ring. :-)

Read the written word man.

I read that first as "Dogbert's Party Appliance" and shuddered, imagining Dogbert displaying his wares at a Passion Party.

I realise this thread is a little stale, but check out a story in today's Trawna Star:

Recall! Recall!

you may want to avoid the pink plastique beasties for a while.

(and for some reason that baffles me, this article reports only a dozen purchased in Canada, of the nearly-a-million sold.)
