After a long day selling pharmaceuticals, all Gus wanted to do when he got back to the Psych office was to relax and watch some WWE Wrestling and maybe eat some churros. However, when Gus arrived he noticed Shawn was behind the TV working with some wires that were sticking out the back of it.
“Uh Shawn… what are you doing to our flatscreen?” Gus narrowed his eyes, looking at the mess of discarded electrical wires.
Shawn looked up from his task. “Hey buddy. The TV went out and I was just fixing it. Have a seat, it will be ready in a second.”
Gus was scared to even ask, but unable to resist, “How do you even know how to fix a TV Shawn, it is a complex electrical system. One wire out of place and the whole thing could be ruined.”
“Relax…” Shawn rolled his eyes. “I Googled the brand and how to fix it.” Shawn reached behind him towards some wire cutters while still gripping and exposed wire. “Could you hand me those? It said if I let go at this point I could short out the TV or cause the entire power grid in the neighborhood to go out.”
“Power grid!” Gus exclaimed, “Didn’t you unplug the TV before you started working on it?!”
Shawn gave him a guilty look while still trying to reach for the wire cutters. “If I said yes would you believe me?”
Gus walked over and tried to stop his friend from doing anything else incredibly dumb. “Not a chance Shawn. You…” Just as Gus grabbed Shawn, Shawn managed to grab the wire cutters, and inadvertently grounded both of them. Electricity shot through their bodies with a loud ‘POP!’ and the last thing Shawn heard before blacking out was Gus screaming his name.
