Whenever Clive reheated something in the microwave he would burst out singing at the top of his voice, “JINGLE ALL THE WAY”. Quite frankly, it drove Eustacia crazy. Eustacia was his wife.
There he goes again! The microwave has just beeped finish and off he goes. JINGLE ALL THE WAY.
“Why do you always sing JINGLE ALL THE WAY when the microwave finishes?” asked Eustacia.
“It’s pretty obvious,” said Clive. “It’s easy enough to work out why.” That annoyed Eustacia even more. Not only did he sing something meaningless, but he accused her of stupidity for not knowing why.
And then it struck her. How obvious it was. When the microwave finished it went:
Beep beep beep
Beep beep beep.
That was:
Jingle bells
Jingle bells.
JINGLE ALL THE WAY sang Clive.
Now it really drove Eustacia nuts. She couldn’t use the microwave without hearing Jingle Bells.

I wonder if it’s possible on ours? It’s the “COOL” process that get’s me – sounds like a front end loader shovelling rocks.

That doesn’t sound very ‘cool.’

I possibly exaggerated – but I find myself leaving the microwave door open so that the “cool” function won’t do its thing.

Our microwave is obviously very boring, but the washing machine does a jaunty little tune when it’s finished!
