Here's another from the prolific Rosemary Zwick:

Tommy was thinking of buying a coffee maker but was concerned it might
be too complicated to operate. The salesman assured him it was easy to
use. "You simply put in the coffee and filter, fill the reservoir with
water, slide the switch to auto and go to bed. When you wake up you can
enjoy a steaming hot cup of coffee"

A few weeks later Tommy ran into his friend Andy. "Tommy, how are you
enjoying your new coffee maker?"

"I had to take the stupid thing back" said Tommy, "every time I fancied
a cup of coffee I had to go to bed."
