On a recent trip to the grocery store I came across a box of some sort of frozen turkey dinner, and in the corner of said box were emblazoned two small banners– the first one said “microwaveable” and the second one said “ovenable”.          

Ovenable.  What the hell is that all about?  The rest of the box was completely normal, but just for that one corner they decided to go insane and create an angeringly unnecessary new adjective.  How does something so stupid happen to a frozen dinner?  Maybe the box designer just got bored.

Wife:  “How was your day today, honey?”

Box Guy:  “I spent the entire day trying to convince myself that having the stupid job of designing boxes is not a justifiable reason to go on a murder-suicide spree.”

So he decided to make some changes in his life.

Wife:  “How was your day today, honey?”

Box Guy:  “It was great, dear.  I think I’ve finally done something interesting with my career.”

Wife:  “That’s wonderful!  What happened?”

Box Guy:  “I created the term ‘ovenable’.”

Wife: “Ovenable?  That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Box Guy:  “Yeah, you’re probably right… Hey, that reminds me, have you seen my guns anywhere?”

The turkey looked pretty trashcanable to me.

-FG
