Electricity originates inside clouds. There, it forms into lightning, which is
attracted to the Earth by golfers. After entering the ground, the electricity
hardens into coal, which, when dug up by power companies and burned in big ovens
called 'generators,' turns back into electricity. where it is transformed by TV
sets into commercials for beer, which passes through the consumers and back into
the ground, thus completing what is known as a 'circuit.'
