Today, I had to explain to my father why it isn't a good idea to shove a metal knife into the toaster when trying to get at a small piece of toast. This man is 45-years-old and has a PhD. FML

Hey there, OP here! For those of you asking, he has a PhD in biology. He's done crazier and much more dangerous things than this, trust me. If you guys have any other questions, feel free to ask!

A PhD can't give you common sense.

He would have had an electrifying epiphany if all had gone as planned. You ruined it!

A lot of people are saying that he's smart because he has a phd but lacks common sense. I don't think a phd automatically means you are smart either. (Not saying anything against this guy)

I have some brilliant university friends myself and I tell ya they are smart as ever book wise but when real life hits them you just shake your head. Here I am this typical 3.8GPA college student lol

Flip the toaster over and spank it! Or use wooden chopsticks!

I just imagined you spanking a toaster and yelling "spit it out ya bastard!" The imagery was enough to make me crack up at work and get strange looks from my co-workers.

I know it is a bad idea but makes things easier to get that little piece of toast.
