Mayor to engineers:-

when I said a large boating lake and marina, I DIDN'T mean cut the bloody city in half!!!

'Mayor, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is since the nearby nuclear explosion, all the buildings in the city look decidedly wonky if not at a peculiar angle. The good news is as they all now glow in the dark, we can cut the street lighting budget.'
