I stole the “you were struck by lightning” line from the otherwise eminently forgettable movie Men at Work, “starring” Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen. The setup there is that the two bad guys are walking along. One has a pistol and the other has a taser. The guy with the pistol starts teasing the guy with the taser who finally gets fed up, says “that’s it, you’re done,” and zaps his buddy. A few minutes later the other guy wakes up, looks around woozily, and asks what the hell just happened, to which his friend replies, “you know, it’s funny. You were struck by lightning.”
