Scenario: a man is cooking a surprise dinner for his wife, to mark their anniversary in the gentlemanly fashion. At the same time however, and unbeknown to this man, a burglar is breaking in to his apartment. Just as his dish is nearing its completion, the man hears the sound of glass breaking, followed by the appearance of a balaclava clad thief. He is shocked.
So shocked, in fact, that he flings his dish into the air, and it ricochets back into his face, scolding him. Other fragments fly past the curtains, setting them promptly alight.
At this point, the man's poor wife makes her timely arrival. Surveying the scene (the thief is standing dumbfounded), she dashes to the phone and calls 911:
911 Operator: "911 what is your emergency?"
Wife: (incoherently) I-, my husband-, random thief in pompously idiosyncratic attire-, CURTAINS!
911 Operator: Very good, Ma'am. A fireman, police officer, and medic will be at your house soon.
Yet, little did any of the persons involved realise, they would soon have another tragedy on their hands, as the policeman, ambulance driver and fireman all believed they had the right of way...
So en route to the caller's house, a huge collision occurred. In fact, this phenomena continues endlessly, and can be observed to this very day.
The end.
