Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.

Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.

It's a great insult.

Your toasters do it well? Mine required trial an error to determine what number it should be set to, and the result is uneven.

You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting...
