Gee I wonder what the top ten wrong answers to this question are ?

(in no particular order)

Go back to bed and try again tomorrow

Blame microsoft for getting into network appliances

Take the microsoft solution and just change the standard for toast

Get a flashlight so I can see what's wrong with it since the lights are
out !

What's a toaster ?

Call an electrician and have the house rewired.

Blame my wife/husband

Suggest to my wife/husband that maybe they would like some toast ... and
then act suprised when the toaster doesn't work.

Wait.....

Go on the internet and download the scematics for the toaster,
disassemble the toaster & rebuild it with a larger heating element.

put the toaster in the microwave....

or the obvious answer - plug it back in!
