I can't make this up

     As many of you know, I work at the Great Falls Tribune. Tuesday night, we had a bit of excitement. I wasn't here, but I heard about it. I guess a hawk flew into one of the power transformers and blew the building's power. The press couldn't even run. For four hours it lasted! Then, when the power came back on, there was a frenzy to get the paper printed and delivered. Of course we had a late start,  so we had a problem. The calls flooded into the building. "I didn't get my paper!!", "What the heck is going on down there at the Tribune?", "Can't you get anything right?", "I cast an evil spell upon your house and curse your name from now until the end of time!" But we did it. The paper went out, a bit late. People pissed and moaned. But 123 years without a missed paper. That's quite a record.
