Would love to see the look on his/her face when you ask him all straight-faced!! I use the m/w a lot and was already reaching for a notepad and pencil to jot down the stuff to do!!!! :( Nicely done, Steve. Just reminds some of us, life is not all GTD.

A) since you don't have to move your hand around the pad, you save time and B) it starts nuking w/out having to hit start.

Well actually, it's so I don't burn myself when reaching around. I already do the “put the cup in with the handle facing the rear” trick, for the exact reason above.

Sick! Smartness. I often relate humor with intelligence. I also often said that in every joke there is a bit of truth. Being real or not, it show a perfectionnist side, either in your jokes or your habit. The only concern I have had recently with microwave is: is it healthly? A load of people are against it. Someone told me that it was basicelly altering the thing we put inside (making its substance unstable) [sorry if I don't sound clear!] Saving 1 week with microwave, but losing 5 years of life. Hrmmm.

If not, I'm betting this was originally a Toastmasters humorous speech. If so, let me add my two cents--some microwaves have a "minute plus" setting that automatically starts the microwave for one minute, with subsequent presses adding a minute onto the time. Makes 90% of nukes a 1-2 push process. I think people like me would be less annoyed at more button presses if the buttons weren't so hard to press.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that I'm an engineer! Perhaps I need to lighten up a little? Even when you are having fun you get us thinking.
