I broke up with my microwave last night..

We have been together for over a decade

It's outlasted any relationship..

It's always been there for me

and never talks back..it just beeped

It's gone, to the microwave heaven....my oven winked at me, because it's thinks we are going to have a relationship soon..

sanitizing a kitchen sponge. Never put a sponge in the microwave for over 10 minutes.

As for sponges, I scored a bunch of full-size loofahs at a local grocery store a few years back (for about $1.50 each). These things are 3' long and we still have most of them. Not only do they make great back rubbers (well, I use those on my wife when she's bathing), but if you slice off about a 1" thick disk they will clean ANYTHING out of a sink and won't scratch any surface, including a stove top. They also make for a good penis joke.
