Sinewave-formed electricity dat successively produces a different "word sound" --- i.e., "hum", "buzz", "drone", "whine", etc. --- a third of da time.
Usually da power-lines are fairly quiet in dry weather, but rain or drizzle often really brings out da "three-phrase current" status of said slim silvery wires!

A contrabass-brass quartet dat serenades you and thus helps you feel less bored/fatigued while you're wheezingly putting up da light-duty framing-timbers for a new building.
DANG it all with this "tuba-four job" dat I naively volunteered for--- here I thought I was gonna get a live band to play smooth-jazz music for me while I installed da framework for dis here woodshed, but all I ended up with was a nice big pile of 8-foot economy-stud beams!!

Harry claims to have gotten a staff infection at the hospital, but I can't see how that could be --- all the workers there are very careful about germs, so it seems unlikely that he would have caught any illnesses from them. Plus he's such an ugly and obnoxious-natured dude that I seriously doubt that any of the female nurses would have wanted to have sex with him.

Before he was reformed by the three spirits, Ebeneezer Scrooge took great pleasure in being extremely miserly; he would severely centsure his clerk, Bob Cratchit, for even a minuscule amount of needlessly-spent company-funds.

The age-old conundrum of "people who seek self-improvement vs. people who need self-improvement" --- generally speaking, the people who are conscientious and unashamedly self-examining enough to actively seek ways to improve themselves do not really need to self-improve very much, whereas the people who truly do need to improve themselves will not admit that they even HAVE a self-inadequacy problem, and so they arrogantly/impatiently refuse to seek or accept help in improving their character or behavior (think, the infamous "getters gettin' got" conversation between Madea and Dr. Phil).
Client, to counsellor, at the outset of their weekly meeting: Breaker one-five for reality check --- come on back?
Counsellor, playing along: Yeah, go ahead, Breaker --- reading you wall-to-wall and treetop-tall.
Client: Thanks --- that's a big ten-four, good buddy. Well, I'm in the process of trying to improve myself, and so I thought I'd send a random shout-out over the waves to check my progress. I've been trying to be more sociable and patient and helpful to everyone, visualize things more from their perspective, and so on.
Counsellor: Well, eights and other good numbers to you on THAT one, good buddy --- that's certainly a positive start. Have you tried self-help books?
Client: Oh, a great BIG ten-four THERE, good buddy --- I've read at least a half-dozen of 'em cover-to-cover, and loved every page; the problem, though, is that I never seem to find any new ideas --- most everything in there is stuff I already know about and am actively practicing, so the books just reassuringly confirm the nature and wisdom of my efforts, not provide fresh perspectives for further improvement.
Counsellor: Ah... well, ten-four, good buddy --- I totally "get you" there... the old "self-help paradox", eh?? The only people who'll read those books are ones who don't need 'em!

What humans with dicks --- and who also WERE "dicks" to not want to give da fairer gender equal rights --- use to have before da likes of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton came along.
Dudes still have a menopoly on male-related matters like prostate-exams and public-urinal installations, but otherwise it is fairly equal for both genders.
