Posted on 20. Apr, 2010 by Andy Ptacek.
I was making diner a couple weeks ago and as I opened the microwave I thought to myself for the umpteenth time, “I’ve gotta clean that.” I also remembered something I heard a while back that you can tell a lot about a person by looking inside their microwave.
