My wonderful wife got that for our new kitchen, completely out of the blue. It actually is really nice; I still think of it as a luxury item.

Side note - "Stupidity should be painful" in your bio - That was my favorite line for years, until I started working at my present job. Today, I drove 4.5 hours to a customer site, spent an hour in the lobby waiting for my contact after the 15 minute safety video, spent an hour in the shop fixing (and confirming the fix) a program THAT THE CUSTOMER WROTE, spent another hour speaking with the service tech that the customer had also called in (he only had an hour drive), and then 4.5 hours back home. And all of that does not count the hour or so trading emails on Monday, or the conference call on Tuesday, or the hour I will spend tomorrow putting together a report. We bill out these services at roughly $140 an hour. I changed 4 numbers, and now they can make transmission parts for Chrysler again. 4 numbers. The 4 numbers I said to change in the FIRST EMAIL ON MONDAY. Customer is out about $2500 plus whatever the service company charged for their guy to show up and then leave again, and lost 4 days of production, and is going to now work massive overtime to get caught back up again... because they didn't try changing the 4 numbers I said to change when they asked for an estimate, when it was free advice.

If stupidity can't be painful, it should at least be expensive.

That has become the unofficial tagline for our department.

I don't think it would take much to convince the owner to have a few uniform shirts made with that added below the corporate logo!
