So the other night, I was in Manny's Mexican Restaurant with my girlfriend and brother, and had just paid the bill, when the lights went out. When they flickered back on, smoke was pouring out of the kitchen. Apparently the fusebox had caught fire. We decided it would be best to leave the burning building, and therefore vacated the premises.
As we stood outside, in the parking lot, the transformer started making horrible screeching and clattering noises. I then noticed that building's powerline was smoking. A few minutes later, as the police and fire engines started to appear, the entire powerline caught on fire. After burning for a minute or so, it snapped in half and fell to the ground. That's when we decided to leave.
So hopefully the building didn't burn -- otherwise there will be no worthwhile place to go eat.

If that swordfish has perished as a result of your cowardice, you will know my wrath in a big way.

So for the sake of all your loyal readers, stay at home next time. Better yet, stay at home for good, but be sure to watch now and then.
Thank you.
