The power goes out at Papaia\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia resets the circuit breaker, but it keeps tripping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His wife calls an electrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The electrician arrives and asks for \u20ac400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They call the landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landlord
\u201cSorry, but why didn\u2019t you call me first? I have an electrician from the insurance company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cOh, really? And now what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landlord
\u201cPut the electrician on the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia hands the phone to the electrician, and they come to an agreement. Then the phone goes back to Papaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landlord
\u201cListen, this is what we agreed on. The electrician will make the electrical system safe, and you\u2019ll pay him. Then the insurance company\u2019s electrician will come and finish the job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The electrician fixes a couple of wires, then calls Papaia over and shows him the electrical panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrician
\u201cLook. Everything works now, but I\u2019ve bypassed the fuse. Tell the other electrician when he comes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrician
\u201cYou\u2019ll remember, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cYes, yes, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrician
\u201cPlease, it\u2019s important!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrician
\u201c120. No receipt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cI\u2019d need a receipt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrician
\u201cWith a receipt, it\u2019s \u20ac400.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cOkay\u2026 forget it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia pays him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day, the phone rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landlord
\u201cThe insurance company\u2019s electrician is coming tomorrow. And please\u2026 don\u2019t tell him that someone else has worked on the electrical system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landlord
\u201cSeriously, otherwise the insurance company will give me a hard time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cYour secret is safe with me. You have my word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia hangs up, then remembers what the first electrician told him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The insurance company\u2019s electrician arrives and examines the electrical panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrician
\u201cExcuse me? Has someone bypassed the fuse?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia hesitates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cNo\u2026 nobody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrician
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The electrician takes a screwdriver, sticks it into a screw on the bypassed circuit, and is instantly electrocuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He drops to the floor, dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia calls the landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landlord
\u201cHello?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia
\u201cExcuse me\u2026 about the insurance\u2026 does it cover household accidents too?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
