We spent a lot on our new dishwasher. It has a stainless steel interior, energy-saving settings, and special water-saving technology. It's only a couple of months old. So one day when I came indoors, my lovely wife, Julia, her voice heavy with frustration, told me it was broken.
The touch buttons didn't do anything. The blue LEDs wouldn't light up. Opening and closing the door didn't have any effect. She'd been fooling with it for a while.
I fixed it in about a minute. LEDs lit up one by one. Motors whirred. Water sprayed.
"How did you do that?" she asked.
"I climbed under the sink and unplugged it, then plugged it back in."
I rebooted our dishwasher. Don't you just love the 21st century?
"Open the dishwasher door, Hal."
"I'm sorry, Doug, I can't do that."
