Termyn8or -> Toaster (12/5/2007 7:55:50 PM)

Well as some know we own a double, the olman lives downstairs. I get the attic, the upstairs and about a third of the basement. When I get home from work I usually stop down there for an hour or two.
Well the other day he got clumsy and dropped his toaster on the floor, and today bought a new toaster. The owner's manual was quite interesting.
It says handling the AC cord will expose you to lead.
And it says that it should be connected to a 120 VAC circuit only.
And it says that you should unplug it if moving the unit.
So how the hell are you going to do this without handling the AC cord ?
Well maybe the levels are not that high and they are just warning you not to let your kids chew on the cord. I don't know about you, but I think if you see your kids chewing on the toaster cord, perhaps you should put some bread in it.
Perhaps toasters will have to come with rubber gloves, for the same reason that seat belts are mandatory.
I'll splain real quick, car manufacturers and insurance companies got the seat belt, and now air bags into cars. You know why ? These things can cause injury, and they do not want you dead. They created a need and then filled it. That is the way to make it really big. To exercise this you need alot of experience in alot of kinds of business, but to do what Phillips and Sony did with cassettes and CDs, look at the results.
You know a couple of other questions come to mind, first of all how long have toys been made in China ? Sorry about getting out of humor, but now we caught them. How long have they been doing it. If you throw out all your kid's toys every year, I would like to know what you do for a living, I need a job doing that.
Lead, why lead ? Just how cheap is lead ? I'll tell you this much, don't ever buy a chastity belt from China !
Certain other things. Wow, now I wonder how much is in my keyboard, mouse, scope probe at work, PENS for Pete's sake !.Not that I use pens all that much.
So, now that everything is made in China, we can't have anything. Anything. So just give away everything you own. Hmmm, I forsee a problem with that, if everybody gives away everything they have, just who would they give it to ?
In a way this is the biggest joke in history, we traded wealth for something we are going to have to burn or something.
Sorry to get out of humor. Might see about having it moved.
But we did have a few laughs about the manual for the toaster.
"Do not touch hot surfaces, handle unit by the handles or knobs". There ain't no handles on this thing, are you crazy ? It cost probably less than ten bucks.
Should have fixed the old one.
