Thoroughly Modern Queenie
October 14, 2006
I’ve joined the modern age at last. I have a mobile phone, a DVD player and now a microwave oven.
I resisted the oven for years. All those microwaves flying loose about the house, who knows what damage they could be doing and what awful consequences of random radiation?
Would it reverse the air conditioning? Turn on the garden sprinklers? Give the budgie a brain tumour?
But my Council Home Help Girl insists the oven is safe and it wouldn’t matter if I became suddenly sterile anyway. So I now have this white box on my kitchen bench and the Girl is bringing me a little bag of wheat that you pop into the microwave, enter a PIN number or something and there you have it — a sort of waterless hot water bottle.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
You could have bought your microwave YEARS ago - it operates with microwaves, NOT radiation.
The only thing in most homes that would emit radiation are smoke detector alarms.
You can’t deceive me, I know it’s radiation, it might even be communist radiation. And I heard about the toy poodle too
Imagine….you can now pop popcorn all day long with a machine that will also reheat your coffee!
My microwave is a glorified egg timer.
