The Conceptual Jackpot

Last night, I was busy reading when the lights kept spontaneously flickering on and off.  I thought about turning off my lamp so that I might save it from exploding from a massive electrical surge, but thought better of it when I became convinced that if the lights were to go out at that moment, I would be electrocuted.

Then I thought, "Well, what if I had braces and that happened?  The electrocution would be exponentially worse because of the presence of metal in my mouth."  I was having an "A-ha Moment" like no other, and it was rocking my world.

This is one of the first Google results for "A-ha Moment".
I think I'm in love.

Convinced that I had hit upon a groundbreaking idea for a short story, I grabbed my nearby notebook and was ready to scribble down any and everything that came to my mind.  Ideas were swimming wildly through my mind and I thought I had finally hit the Conceptual Jackpot when I thought of this gem: what if I was electrocuted, while wearing braces, and I then obtained super cool powers?

Just then, I realized that this is pretty much exactly what happens in that show Braceface -- which was really disappointing.  And so, I begrudgingly returned to my reading, feeling completely dejected (and very nostalgic for crappy Alicia Silverstone cartoons).
