A short story that ends with the word "SPANG"

A short story that ends with the word "SPANG"

"The safe won't open"

"The what won't what?"

"The safe. Where we keep all the company documents and contracts. And the money. And the credit cards. And THAT video. It won't open."

"Right. What's up with it."

"The battery's run out on the electric keypad and it won't open."

"OK - not a problem. Where's the emergency key I gave you?"

"The emergency key to the safe that you told me to keep safe in case we couldn't open the safe?"

"Yes - the emergency key to the safe."

"I put it in the safe."

SPANG!

LOL Just the sort of thing I would do.

Attempt to induce a current in the circuitry sufficient to power the lock mechanism using an alternating current induction system, stabilised by a neutron inverting sonic wave. It's setting 78 on the sonic screwdriver. Oh.

OK, plan B. SPANG!

Just blow the bloody door off.

And TRT - you forgot to reverse the polarity on the neutron flow.

Don't cross the beams, though.

We hit the battery compartment very hard until there was sufficient chemical reaction to get enough power to open the safe.

In summary: SPANG!

Percussive maintenance.

I *never* forget to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

Inverting the neutrons isnt quite the same.
