Cute outage message (among others): [link]
Man, why did I have to get hit with that monster migraine all of a sudden? I was doing so well.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, there are some songs that Justin Timberlake just can't sell.

If it's a recurring pattern rather than single instances of slothitude, perhaps you could use the opportunity to give an object lesson in how habitual offender laws can result in consequences more severe than any single offense might merit?

As explanations/excuses for service failures go, this is aces. As explanations/excuses for getting fired go, also aces.
Power outages aren't nearly as funny.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
This should go in Tech, but I need an answer (if I can get one) as quickly as I can.
What do I do if the display on the laptop has rotated 90 degrees?

Oo, this happened to a coworker once! Unfortunately, I can't remember the key combo to fix it. Hmm...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Smells like bullshit, as the commenters note. I don't know why Valleywag ran with it, when it's contradicted by the bare fact of other power outages in the area.
