The Fridge

Today, for the first time, I noticed a little orange sticker on my mini-fridge: "In Case of Emergency, Call ###"

How many fridge-related emergencies can you think of? Only two come to mind. First, if the fridge catches on fire. But if that happens, I'm not going to mess around with the mini-fridge hotline. I'm going to call 911 and get the heck out of the room.

The second possibility: getting trapped inside the fridge. In that case, I concede that a fridge-related emergency hotline would be useful. Why, then, is the sticker on the outside? I'm not going to get trapped outside of my fridge.

My conclusion? I wonder how much the fridge hotline operator gets paid.
