4. Well, I Think it's computerized, but....
I laughed my ass off when I read it.

When the power first went off I thought it was just another example of what I have begun calling "The Baghdad Power Company" at work. My neighborhood has experienced four outages lasting 12 hours or more in the past five months before this happened. No explanation has ever been forthcoming, and their recorded telephone message merely says "a combination of factors has caused problems with the overhead power lines." There are no overhead lines within several miles of us, so that explanation is a bit odd, and somethimes the explanation says "underground lines" instead.
