Microwave

What an idiot. How does he not know how to use a microwave?
Oh no, however did this happen! I merely heated up an egg!
Don't you know not to put an egg in the microwave?
What is this microwave you speak of? I merely heated an egg in this most unusual metal contraption and then it goes and does the most unagreeable deed of exploding.
Ok, I'll teach you how to use a microwave because apparently being the post master doesn't prepare you to use a microwave.

So. Do you know any foods that can or can't be microwaved?
I simply have no clue, wasn't this microwave invented over 150 years after I died? But I can certainly say an egg is least agreeable to a microwave.
Yes. Things with shells should not be put in a microwave, but if something has skin it can be put in, you just have to poke holes in it.
Hmm. This microwave is certainly most mysterious it it's ways.
Yeah...

Why don't you give microwaving a go? What're you hungry for?
A baked potato would be quite nice, though if I recall I have to poke holes in it, correct?
Exactly, you should also put it in a circular container more near the edge of the microwave for an even cook!
Ok. I shall now put it in the strange metal box.
I truly have learned so much today from you. Thank you, odd child.
No problem, I'm always happy to help, especially if you changed the course of American history!
