A "pop machine" is a microwave.

I call it soda. But I'm familiar with the term "pop" from kids' jokes. (Why'd the kid put his dad in the freezer? Because he wanted an ice-cold pop.)

At least I don't call it "soh-der." /me shudders


Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
