    I laughed so hard when I was reading my email, thought I would share with you ;)

    POWER OUTAGE

    At my recent assault trial, I offered a plea of "Guilty with an explanation."
    The judge asked me what my explanation was, so I told my Story.

    "Your Honor," I said, "I had a mammogram appointment, which I actually
    kept. I was met with: 'Hi! I'm Belinda!' This perky clipboard carrier
    smiled from ear to ear, tilted her head to one side and crooned, 'All I need
    you to do is step into this room right here, strip to the waist, then slip
    on this gown. Everything clear?' I'm thinking, 'Belinda, try decaf. This
    ain't rocket science.' Belinda skipped away to prepare the chamber of
    horrors.

    With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left
    and said, 'Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in a tad so we
    can get everything?' 'Fine', I answered. I was freezing, bruised, and out
    of air, so why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck and
    finish me off? My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my
    other breast wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when
    we heard, then felt a zap!

    Complete darkness and the power went off! 'Oh, maintenance is working.
    Bet they hit a snag.' Belinda said, and headed for the door.

    'Excuse me! You're not leaving me in this vise alone are you?' I shouted.
    Belinda kept going and said, 'Oh, you fussy puppy...the door's wide open so
    you'll have the emergency hall lights. I'll be right back.'

    Before I could shout 'NOOOO!' she disappeared. And that's exactly how Bubba
    and Earl, maintenance men extraordinaire, found me ... half-naked with part
    of me dangling from the Jaws of Life, and the other part smashed between
    glass! After exchanging a polite 'Hi, how's it going' type greeting, Bubba
    (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was
    off. Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as
    Possible 'Uh, yes, yes I did thanks.' 'You bet, take care' Bubba replied
    and waved good-bye as though I'd been standing in the line at the grocery
    store.

    Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin. Making no
    attempt to suppress her amusement, she said, 'Oh I am sooo sorry!' The power
    came back on and I totally forgot about you! And silly me, I went to
    lunch. Are we upset?'

    And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the
    clamps...."

    The judge could hardly contain her laughter as she said
    'Case Dismissed!!'..
    ;-) ;-)
