I hope you're hearing this now as I'm speaking from the lawn of Gridhearst Manor, high-society home of Jonas Acme, fair-haired pharoah of American industry.
A grim, closed-mouthed Chief O'Moriority pushed his way through the pack of yapping news hounds and a growing crowd of curiosity seekers barely ten minutes ago, while we were setting up our equipment.
Now, while we're waiting for a statement from inside the great house, let me bring you - those of you who can hear me right now - up to date.
First, the mysterious theft in the mid-atlantic of a secretly developed power generator, the heart of the Acme All-Night Light and Power Company.
Then, announcement of indefinite delay in the construction of the Acme Canal. What a blow to the Windy City.
And all this in the midst of the worst electrical crisis of our new modern decade, as trollies, iron hearts, and cattle prods, switch on and off like a crazy monkey.

And the drunks lying under the cars?
And the fishes and loaves all over the freeway?
He's the Hun
He's number one.
He said, well come on boys, let's hit the road to Rome.
Said the Hun
Do the Hun
It's what the latest rage is.
It's from the Middle Ages.
No other dance can touch it.
No other holds a candle
I learned it from a Visogoth
Who learned it from a Vandel.
And here's some good news. The Phone Company is sending every one of you a big brown bag of hot food.
Why? Because we took your shoes away without telling you.
Eat 'em...wipe 'em off...eat 'em again.
