Press 1 to Report an Explosion

So, I was working this morning when I heard a bang and the power goes out. The bang was far away, but loud enough for me to hear it, of course.

So, I called the power company. If you have a touch tone phone, please press 1. 1 pressed. To report an outage, press 1. 1 pressed. If your lights are out, press 1. 1 pressed. From the phone number, we’ve located an account. If you are calling from the location of the outage and the name on the account is O K E E F E, press 1. 1 pressed. The outage has been reported. If you’d like to report something else about the outage, press 3. I thought I’d tell them about the bang. Press 1 to report an explosion. They’ve thought of everything!!! 1 pressed. Your report has been filed. Good bye. Ah, automation.
