How to end conversation?

Talking about a sticky note on Miyuki's desk that says "Is there anything else that I can help you?"

Asked why she had the note, she responded:
Miyuki: "Yeah, I have no idea how to end conversation"
Miyuki: "Thank you. Okay. Bye. What else can I say? Bye again!"

This is to help Miyuki with ending conversations on Skype.

The microwave nearly caught fire today. It was smoking pretty heavily before I noticed it.

The Flaming Bun jokes have already started and we all know they won't stop.

Uh... okay?
