Walking through the quiet, dimly lit restaurant, the accused,
Reuben
Hendrix, when asked by the defendant, Maxima Bustamante, if he
had a light, pulled this contraption out of his backpack, flicked it
on
and held it up to the defendant's extended cigarette, before the
resulting conflagration
and thus this arson case, your honor.
The contraption consists of a Pyro Plate (link 1), and a sound-
emitting light-detector (link 2).
When Mr. Hendrix actually flicked it on, the pyro plate aspect of
the
device activated, triggering the sound-emitting light-detector,
which
detected the light, emitted corresponding sound, which in turn
modulated the pyro plate so that emitted more light, etc, until
the
amplication was modified by the included modulation software
until
there was a pleasing feedback effect in both light and sound,
reminiscent of the soundscapes once produced by mr. Hendrix's
namesake of Woodstock star spangled banner fame.
It was only after this over-wrought but beautiful contraption
performed the task of lighting the cigarette that Ms Bustamante,
already slack-jawed in amazement, let the smoldering cigarette
drop
out of her mouth long enough to say "I do" in response to mr.
Hendrix's question, "do you need anything else", after which she
added, " a ride out of this nowhere town," to which he then
responded, "will you marry me first," before stamping out the
smoldering cigarette on the rug, whisking the aforementioned Ms
Bustamente out of the dimly lit restaurant, into the big city, and
down to the courthouse where she will now repeat her first
sentiment, settling the case with a mutual conviction for arsony of
their hearts.
