Riding the Wave
"What?" I said.
"Your microwave and your TV," he said. "Completely unrelated."
"Got it," I said. "But could you check the TV when you're done with the microwave, anyway?"
"I only do kitchen appliances," he said.
"But the TV is in the kitchen," I replied. Then I recalled that the ad said Mike's Microwaves, and not Mike's Microwaves and TVs, so I decided to let it go.
I watched the one TV channel that worked well while Mike did surgery on the microwave. But when I decided to switch channels, all of a sudden, at the exact same time, the microwave whirred to life.
"Hah!" I yelled. "I fixed the microwave!"
"No, you didn't," said Mike. "I did. I put in a new fuse."
"I'm not so sure, Mike," I said assuredly. "I was on CNN and when I switched to HGTV, the microwave started to work again."
"I told you, they're not related," he argued.
I shrugged. "If you want to believe that, that's fine," I said. "I don't want to make waves."
