We had a power outage at our place this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, DVD, Samsung Tablet and new surround sound music system were all shut down.
Then I discovered that my Galaxy Smart phone battery was flat and, to top it off, it was raining outside, so I couldn't cut the grass.
I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this also needs power, so I talked to my wife for a few hours. She seems like a real nice person!
Questions:
Can you think of a synonym for 'power outage'?
What does 'the battery is flat' mean?
What does 'to top it off' mean?
How can we interpret the meaning of this joke?

Poor of us! We are noone without the electricity energy. It is our needed daily food. It is the drug that moves our desires. I wonder if it is actually possible the hapiness without the energy nowadays. What do you think?
