Grilled Cheese, Part II

Someone in my office set our kitchen on fire by attempting to make a grilled cheese sandwich in an upright toaster.

Attention MIT / Harvard Braintrust -- here is a little equation for you that you must memorize:

cheese + heating element + gravity = flames + 2nd angry email* from director of facilities about correct/incorrect use of kitchen appliances.

*The first angry email was when someone put a slice of pizza wrapped in plastic wrap into a toaster oven, causing the first kitchen fire. That incident prompted Facilities to take away the toaster ovens and give us the upright toasters thinking (wrongly) that they were idiot-proof.
