Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence

Pool filters do not like Jello

VCR’s do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do

Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving

You probably do not want to know what that odor is

Always look in the oven before you turn it on
