"It's raining hard out there," Right noted while playing against Left.
"At least for the last half hour. Must be pretty wet - good thing we're playing indoors!" Left laughed before serving.
"Yeah," Right said as he won the point. "We're safe and dry. Imagine trying to play this out there."
"Oh help me, I'm being electrocuted. Boo hoo!" Left mocked evilly.
A huge flash immediately followed by thunder caused everything to go dark. Smoke curled up from the game console.
Lesson: Don't mock. And if you're prone to electrical storms, consider a surge protector.
