If you want something truly "amusing," you could somehow tweak the narrative
you deliver into something about technical writing (I can, and I'm sure you
can, too).
Read the following two paragraphs. Then watch the video (wmv file) using the
link to my site (it's safe).
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a
Doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage,
and
no mMatter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued.
Although
they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks
or
problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes,
underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. -- all
to
no avail.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water
running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to
investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills.
Apparently this had been happening all day long when they were not
at
home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the
'problem' for posterity -- see attached video.
