Very funny Patton.

(1,266 posts)I've had ones where the toaster is mechanically sensing temperature via two joined metal strips with different coefficients of heat expansion that cause their joined combination to bend one way or the other depending on the local temperature. With that type of toaster, you need to adjust the settings knob to "darker" before popping the toast back in if it's not dark enough, or else it will just pop right back up.

(5,502 posts)I think George was standing up at the time, while Abe was sitting in the back of the boat.
"We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them in the streets, we shall never surrender!
We shall cross the Delaware, and take over their airports, and use their own B52 bombers against them!"
Abe's reply was less memorable.
"Sit down George, before you tip all of us into the cold water."
