Stupid Dryer

Okay, maybe it's not the dryer that's stupid.  I'm sorry, but after loading the dryer, making sure that the door is completely closed, and cleaning the lint filter, the dryer just ought to be on.  Am I the only one who does all that and then forgets to hit the "On" button?  More than once, I have wondered why the dryer completed its mission so quickly, only to discover that it never got started.  We can text, tweet, and twitter using satellite technology, but we can't design a dryer with a little digital voice that says, "Hey, you forgot to turn me on!"  In fact--now ladies, bear with me here--if you gave the dryer a sultry female voice, say like Kathleen Turner's, and had it say, "Please, baby, turn me on," then you may never have to do laundry again.  The man in your life will constantly be asking if you have any clothes to dry.  Just think; if this dryer idea works out, we could put a digital Kathleen Turner into the oven and it could coo, "Turn on the heat," and then dinner might be waiting for you when you get home.  If there are any technology people out there reading this, get in touch with me.  We might make a fortune developing appliances that are truly "sleek and sexy."

Kathleen Turner? Really Dad? You are old...and gross.
