Machines Get Revenge 2

The two vandals, identified only as men in their early 20s, went into the elevator late on April 21, waited for the doors to close, and started to kick them, she said.

They kicked so hard that the doors jammed, and the elevator stopped, sending an alarm to security guards. The guards tried to lower the elevator, which only jammed the doors more, so they called the police and fire department.

The firemen freed the two suspects, while the police waited outside.

Woody Allen, back when he did standup, used to tell the story of having a bad time fixing breakfast.

Then he left his apartment and got on the elevator.

The elevator stopped between floors, the Muzak ceased, and a voice said, “Are you the guy who yelled at his toaster this moring?”

    No, I think yelling at appliances, which Frank does often, lets out a certain amount of steam, without being afraid they will kill you after
