A man comes home from work and says “Honey, I am home”.
The microwave is on, defrosting a chicken dinner.
From the bedroom his wife shouts, "Hi sweetie, could you have a look at microwave and tell me how much time there is left?"
He immediately runs out and calls 911, informing that his wife is in danger.
Why?
