Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for April 23, 2014

Ding, ding, ding! We have a trope!

Anyone who doesn’t know which one, it would be “Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs.”

Anyone who has no idea what I’m talking about, look it up on TV Tropes.

Why do I even know these things?

some people use their oven to dry their socks in less than 5 minutes.

and those that forget,get toasted socks.well done, crispy,brown,charcoal socks. :) heh,heh.

I once worked with a guy who bicycled to work on occasion. One day, he got rained on and he dried his socks in the lunchroom microwave. He got a talking-to from HR.

Another time, he put his paper lunchbag in the microwave. It had a metal twist tie, which set the bag on fire. This guy was an aerospace design engineer. He gives the rest of us a bad name.

Hey, someone else might have if I didn’t.

I think the cartoonists may have got the idea for this strip from the “Bean” movie. Though that was a regular oven, not a microwave one.

The way microwaves work is by adding energy to polarized molecules. Adding energy makes molecules move or jiggle faster. The more energy something has, the hotter it is by definition. Anywho, unless RJ is moistening his underpants prior to microwaving, they ain’t getting toasty. They should just cause the microwave to arc (releasing the pent up energy by generating plasma in the air molecules). Or in other words, don’t try this at home kids.
