Fixing the Lightning Rod (Burt the Plumber, pt. 4)

Kablammo! 

“Darn it, the television stopped working: its screen is all scrambled and snowy. I think a thunderbolt must have struck its V-shaped antenna.”

“No, that’s impossible, I swear by our Heavenly Father Jehovah: this is exactly why we paid to have that lighting rod installed on the top of our house.”

“Hi, everybody, I’m Burt the Plumber. I couldn’t help but notice that some thunderbolts awoke you from deep sleep; so I came here to fix your lightning rod.”

“Thank you, Burt. Wow, it’s amazing how punctual you are — we didn’t even need to place a call or make an appointment; you just showed up unexpectedly!”

“OK, it’s all fixed: you’re now lightning-proof. I climbed up on top of your house and mended the rod.”

“Hooray-harroo! Burt, how did you do it?”

“How did I fix the rod? I used some glue. Now you’re protected from destruction. Also, since I was out there, I took the opportunity to refill your manger with straw.”
