Toaster vs. Mixer

The wife has discovered that plugging in the toaster doesn't make the mixer run. She was trying to make mashed potatoes, reached down grabbed the plug, plugged it in and tried to turn on the hand mixer. No matter what she did, the mixer wouldn't turn on. Then, while plugging and unplugging the power cord, realized that she had grabbed the toaster's plug instead of the mixer plug. We both got a good healthy guffaw out of the mistake. In the wife's defense, the cords are identical. It was an honest, funny, mistake.
