    For some reason I do not find the phrase “will have planted causes for unwholesome future effects” as threatening as “will be punished”.

    Its a lottery,one false move and you’re gone.

    Marty, we need to go back to the future.

    “Ward, I think what the Beaver needs is a wholesome 50,000 volt charge.”

    That is, if the devise (sic) you are casually charging is a flux capacitor.

    Caution: Wall outlet carries 1.21 gigawatts of power. Not safe for children, people with pacemakers, or mad scientists with DeLoreans.

    I didn’t need the notice. A look at the plugs is dissuasive enough.

    Eh… I’ll rather use ear-plugs.

    Sounds like a vibrator docking station.

    Are you into casual recharging? Or should I dress up?

    Listen, Ryan, if you try to juice up your Ipad here, we will f— you up real good!

    Forgive me. For I have reversed polarity.

    Want to stay out of Chinese Hell?
    Bring extra batteries.

    Sounds like it might awaken Godzilla.

    I know. Somebody water the power plant.

  17. Stopchicks | 7:03 am |  Vote: Add rating 2  Subtract rating 2  

    Yeah, that sort of thing can happen with unprotected plugs and sockets.

    Future effects such as these will affect you in the future.

    Looks like a loo here. Worry not, I shall plug somewhere else (!!)

    Doctor: I am sorry, but your baby will be born with 7 arms, and on fire.

    Wife: Honey, I told you not to charge the ipod at that temple. Thanks a lot!

    For every dollar you donate to the temple electrical fund, we’ll plant a cause for wholesome effect.

    For healthy devises, approach the electric plugs with due reverence.

    I think this is where Thomas Merton died.

    (Guess I should have added a “if ya know what I mean *wink wink* *nudge nudge* to my last post…)

    “1.21 gigawatts? 1.21 GIGAWATTS! 1.21 GIGGAWATS!!!”
    “Doc, what the hells a gigawatt?”

    I assure you the intentions of my electrical plugs are totally honorable. And they always carry ground fault protection.

    It must be the Manchurian Translation.

    I’m all for unwholesome effects and normally have to pay, but this is for free! What a beautiful world!

    …also death, and you will not get to go to your party where your cake is waiting for you.

    “Please excuse the verbosity of our signage; our English is, perhaps, inelegant.”

    Don’t try to speed up the charging of the devise by electrocuting someone. You have to wait for them to die naturally, or else you don’t get a single cent from that will!

    Let’s be mindful of the next generation please.

    Now see, the primo reason me an Vinnie an Tony here have come to your establishment as a courtesy, is that we might speak to you about your seriously delinquent personal loan recompensation, your non-payment of which, will have planted causes for unwholesome future effects.
