CALIFORNIA, USA

"Deprived of luxuries, 

like power and freedom, 

more and more Californians 

are being forced to run 

extension cords 

over to their neighbors 

in adjacent states.

A caravan of migrant 

Californians was seen 

traversing the deserts 

separating the state 

from its eastern neighbors, 

towing hundreds of miles' 

worth of extension cords.

Californians knocked on 

random Nevada and Arizona 

residents' doors and asked 

if they could borrow some power 

to charge their cellphones, 

power their espresso machines, 

and run their tanning beds. 

They were surprised 

to discover 

how nice people were 

in other states, 

saying things like, 

"Sure, neighbor!" 

and "No problem. 

Do you want to borrow 

any guns or cactuses?" 

Unfortunately, the increased 

power demand caused 

the power grids in Arizona 

and Nevada to get knocked out, 

so they had to run extension cords 

over to New Mexico and Utah, 

respectively. 

Then their power got knocked out,

and their neighbors' power, 

and so on and so on 

until all the states on the East Coast 

were forced to run extension cords 

over to Europe, but they were 

electrocuted to death because of 

the water hazard.

Californians are now looking

for an alternative energy source, 

such as rubbing balloons 

on hipsters' beards."
