“What’s this? What are you spending my money on now? We don’t have enough junk in this house, is that it?”
“Oh,
George, please don’t be that way. It’s just a Philips 10 in 1 Universal
Remote Control. It wasn’t expensive. I thought you might like it.”
“I might like it? What a laugh. I’ve got eight remotes already. What do I need another one for?”
“Well,
that’s just it. This one can control up to 10 devices, so you can put
all those other ones away. Won’t that be nice, George? Won’t it?”
“Bah.”
“And
look, we can each program our favorite channels and label them with
little icons, up to 100 channels each. Here, look, right here on the
screen, all the channels you like: C-SPAN 2, Jetix, EWTN, ShopNBC. Isn’t that nice, George? Isn’t it?”
“Oh,
for the love of…lemme see that thing. Hey! Very funny. ‘I Don’t Like
You Very Much’, it says. Ha ha ha. OK, you made your little joke,
Maureen. Very funny. What’s the gag, huh? What’s the big idea?”
“George, I don’t know what you -”
“Oh, stop it! Look here, right here on the 1.5” x 2” TFT screen: ‘Be Nice To Me Or You Might Get Hurt’. See here, it…huh. It changed. Or…you made it change.”
“Oh,
George, I don’t see anything at all. I don’t see anything but the
channel icons for your favorite cable networks. Please, just calm down
-”
“It changed! I tell you, you made it change! The screen
said I might get hurt and you made it change to make me look crazy! Now
listen to me, Maureen, if this is your idea of a joke, just stop it
now! Right now! I don’t think it’s funny! And I certainly don’t want
your, your crazy remote control!”
“George! That’s enough!
I just tried to do something nice for you! I don’t know why you must
act like such a beast! I’m going to my mother’s until you come to your
senses!”
“Fine! Go!...Good. Good. I’m glad she’s gone. Now
I can smash this crazy remote into pieces and throw it in the garbage
where it belongs. What’s it say now? ‘I Am Going To Kill You’. Real
funny. A regular laugh riot. Now let’s see, where’s that hammer? I
thought I – ow! Hey! This thing just – OW! OWW! What, what are you – AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!”
