Says the Electrician to Rian, "Ya know, that circuit box you have down there, that Zantrek*..."

"Yes?" says Rian.

"...that brand's a real death trap. Lotsa horror stories. Breakers not tripping, houses burning down."

"But!" says the Electrician to Rian, fake smile plastered on face, "I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, I mean, this house has been standing just fine for...what...90 years? I'm sure it's just fine."

"Oh, wonderful. NOW you've jinxed it," cries Rian, and goes to hide under the chaise.


* or some brand that starts with a Z.
