“Broken Hearts and Fish out of Water”
Yesterday Tad and Hannah went to a seafood restaurant for lunch. While they
were eating, Hannah noticed a very cute guy at the next table. Later, when Tad
went to the restroom, Hannah started talking to the man, Jim. Tad came back
while they were talking, and he got very angry. He yelled at Jim and grabbed him
by the neck. Suddenly, Jim fainted. Tad didn’t know what to do, but Hannah
started to perform CPR on Jim. While Hannah was performing CPR, Jim’s girlfriend,
Tammy, walked into the restaurant. Tammy thought Hannah was kissing Jim, and
she suddenly fainted. Unfortunately, when she fainted, she crashed into a giant
fish tank. The fish and water spilled everywhere. After the fish tank fell over, the
restaurant manager left the cash register and ran over to see what was happening.
Before he returned to the cash register, someone robbed it. Both Jim and Tammy
recovered, but the restaurant lost a lot of money and fish. The restaurant manager
is suing Tad, Hannah, Jim and Tammy.
