Fortunately your library membership entitles you to access computers, printers, scanners and photocopiers.

Unfortunately the power is out at the library.

Fortunately you have an electric eel.

Unfortunately, the electric eel really belongs to a plumber who doesn't believe in the need for libraries.

Fortunately, the eel doesn't share his owners distaste for libraries, and in fact helps you figure out how to get the power back on.

Unfortunately, it's such a shocking experience you need to take a good long break afterwards.

Fortunately, you survived, and are sueing the council for their lack of maintenance to keep the place safe.

Unfortunately, the only lawyers you can hire that are in your area cost $1,000,000,000,000, and you only have $1,000 on hand (you have more at home, but the trial starts in 5 minutes, and your home is 10 minutes away).

Fortunately there are a lot of rate-payers who are also annoyed about the Council's failure to maintain the place properly who join you in a class action, and the lawyer also agrees to let you have legal aid.

Unfortunately, the legal aid turns out to be a anthropomorphic lawbook.

Fortunately the lawbook states clearly that people with low incomes are entitled to free legal representation, and also prohibit lawyers overcharging clients unless the said clients are multi-millionaires.

Unfortunately, you're not considered to have a low income.

But fortunately, you have filed your taxation returns promptly each year, unlike the lawyer, and so the Taxation Department allows you to claim expenses against your income, reducing your income to a level where you do qualify for legal aid.

Unfortunately, due to a paperwork kerfuffle, you don't actually receive the legal aid.

Fortunately the lawyer who wanted to charge so much money was arrested and charged with fraudulent and unprofessional behaviour.
