After entering the ground, the electricity hardens into coal, which, when dug up by power companies and burned in big ovens called ``generators,'' turns back into electricity, which is sent in the form of ``volts'' (also known as ``watts,'' or ``r.p.m.'' for short) through special wires with birds sitting on them to consumers' homes, where it is transformed by TV sets into commercials for beer, which passes through the consumers and back into the ground, thus completing what is known as a ``circuit.''..."
