#1103: Nine

[[A man stands at a microwave, which hangs on the wall above the stove.]]

Man: How long do you zap these?

Out of panel person: Two minutes.

Man: Thanks!

«beep 1»

«beep 5»

«beep 9»

Man (whispering): It’s ok, Nine. You are not forgotten.

Ever since I heard the simile “as neglected as the nine button on the microwave,” I’ve found myself adjusting cook times.
