There Is Something Deliciously Ironic...
Daughter had to type a paper tonight arguing that the Industrial Revolution was a Good Thing™.
So naturally the power went out.
So she typed it on a laptop.
By candlelight.
I love this country.

Candles? I thought New Jersey glowed from the toxic waste.

I never said we had to light them Jeff.

Love that juxtaposition of the laptop with the candlelight and the more contemporary elements in the scene. A genuine work of art.

Oh, that is too funny. Extra credit for that, I say.

Depending on how cool her teachers are, she should print a copy of that photo, caption it: "My irony: let me show you it" and hand it in with the essay.
(Only if the teachers follow the Way of the LOL; otherwise, they might think it was bad grammar.)
