Scared the crap out of us....we thought it was nuclear!!! :wtf: (should we be wearing lead aprons to cook these hotdogs? Did they give you some with the microwave? NO??? I'm standing back from it!!! Let's try 5 seconds...) The hot dogs literally jumped around cooking inside the dang thing! It was bigger than a regular oven too, and weighed about 200 lbs! You had to have a big kitchen counter to even consider one!
Back in the day when I was in the car biz in Dallas, I had to install a "car phone" in the owners demo caddy...it was a suitcase weighed about 150lbs that mounted in the trunk and had to have a regular type handset wired up to the front dash....took all day, and he paid like 6 grand for it (maybe half the price of the car back then!)...also in the 70's....friggin owner hovered over me all day...."ya done yet???" "NO!" "Ya done yet?" "NO!" "why not?" "It's the first one of these I've ever done! muttering cussing pullin 87 friggin wires under the carpet..."....I wanted to punch the rich bastard! :wtf:
We're just teasing you Em! We wouldn't do it if we didn't like you!:D
