A quote from Jen's book

Ceri’s post:
The dentist decided to get an alarm system after we were broken into (the source of many of my recent headaches) a few weeks ago. Of course, a local company with connections to our office was his first choice. So my Jason found himself there last Friday to install our new system. The office manager sent me a text partway through the morning: Only ur husband. I was confused and asked her what she meant. "I meant," she said, "only your husband would fall through the ceiling." Yup, sure enough, I saw the giant hole myself. He fell into the room our new dentist was working in. I asked the doctor how it went, and he calmly said, "I had the needle in the patient's mouth and just as I was administering the block, I heard a little kaboom, and then a louder kaboom, and I looked up to see long legs dangling from the ceiling."

The quote from the book:

It all came home to roost for Ceri the day that she saw her husband’s legs dangling through the roof of the dentist’s office where she was working. She left radio to come to the simple life...for this?? For this?? Her beloved Jason was risking life and limb...and she could do naught but stare in horrified fascination. Ok, so she may have had a laugh or two. It was kinda funny, she had to admit. But nope, she reasoned, life has to be more than this. Perhaps it was time?
For Mack Man (or was it McMahon?? Even those of us who worked on the show weren’t sure...) the realization came when he was working on a newspaper rack, and the dang darn hood of the heavy metal device came slamming down on his hand.
He may have said a bad word or two as he was jumping around, holding his bleeding appendage, the pain shooting through his body.
He left radio to come to the simple life...for this?? For this?? His beloved hand was throbbing in pain!! Pain, I tell you!! It was lucky his fingers hadn’t been shorn off!! Perhaps it was time??
It was he who remembered that one of his favorite groups, the B-52’s, was formed after a drunken night at a Chinese restaurant.
Well, there wasn’t any drinking going on, but the calls were made and there was an evening at Del Rio’s.
The rest, as they say, was history....
