A character catastrophe for a joker working his last day

Re: Nothing so severe

One day, a group from work went to a local restaurant for lunch. The food was nice, and they were playing light background music. Then, they played Mel C's "Never be the same again", and it repeated. After about 5 playthroughs of the increasingly ironic sounding song, the fire alarm went off, and we were evacuated. We waited around a bit, and my colleague asked our waitress what had happened. Apparently, the CD player caught fire.

So, we all went back to work, apart from our Unix admin who insisted on staying to pay the bill, clearly not knowing they were insured for the loss of earnings.
