Laptop has 7% power. Can I find some stuff before it goes bone dry? Let's see:

HISTORY New theory on King Tut's last days: run over by a chariot, then burned to a crisp after his coffin was sealed.

Driver B: "I'll just reach down here and get the CD that fell on the floor." Driver C: "I'll just keep proceeding at the same speed until this really seems to be serious."

Whew. Okay, 2 percent battery power. Time to post and before I have to do something cliched like end the post in the middle of a sentence. Which I won't do. One percent! Man, this is cutting it close. But I will not end in the middle of a sentence, which doesn't make sense. Doesn't work that way. Annnnnnd. . . .POST.
