Next on UHF channel 52....Wheel...of...Fish!


Day 29.2

My reception is off. That may sound funny to most of you, but some of you know exactly what I’m talking about. The question is...what is showing on your T.V.? You know, the T.V. that floats over your head, not the one in your living room or bedroom.  I guess it’s not really a T.V., rather a flat 2D screen that plays images, shows and movies consistently. Normally, I don’t mind. During meetings or when someone is yammering about their weekend or why Pringles should come in single size packages, I just tune to an episode of Family Guy or replay Star Wars for the thousandth time.

Anyway, back to my reception. Lately, I wake to a scary movie. Not “Friday the Elm Street on Halloween” kind of scary, but the long hotel hallway with twins a the end, staring me down kind of scary, or the Oompa Loompa  chasing me with a funnel yelling, “Time to PACK the Fudge!” kind of scary. Normally, I just stop my movie, imagine myself with a lightsaber, cue John Williams and start to kick some intergalactic butt. But lately, I’m wake up running down my hallway in my tightie- whities asking the cat where the giant chicken went.

So, the other night I asked my lovely wife, “Hon, what’s playing on your T.V.?”
“Forensic Files”
“No, I mean...YOUR T.V.”
MY T.V...?!?”
“The one that floats over your head...”
The look she gave me was one that I will remember forever.  The look of concern, mixed with amusement, bewilderment and a touch of gas, when she finally answered...“You’re not getting any.”

Needless to say, I decided to drop the topic, though I began to wonder....am I the only one that has a T.V. floating over their head? So, I pose this question to you....what is showing on your T.V.?
