    They ran out of gas!
    Th -- they had a flat tire!
    They didn't have enough money for cab fare!
    Their tux didn't come back from the cleaners!
    Some old friend of theirs came in from out of town!
    Someone stole their car!
    There was an earthquake!
    A terrible flood!
    Locusts!
    Hackers!
