 WITS toaster
The WITS' toaster has finally broken down after 20 years of honorable service.  If you estimate that it has toasted 50 pieces of toast for 180 days for the last 20 years, it has toasted 18,000 pieces of toast.  If you would like to dedicate the new toaster, contact me at alumni@witsyeshiva.com.
Do you have any good toaster stories from your past?  Any injuries sustained from its usage?  Tell me about them.
