Stupid is.

Stupid is!
If It Were Not For Stupidity, I’d Have No Ity At All.

I watched a movie with my DVD player, then switched to TV. My Channels were all messed up. I have an antenna with a bad cord.
I tried to move it around to get a good connection but nothing worked.
I had one of those antennas they advertise on TV that I bought for backup.
I figured it was time to use it.

I plugged it in, and did a channel scan…got 73 channels…GREAT!
Looked through them all and was amazed, however there were no 8s, which I watch the most…8.1 8.2 & 8.3.

Decided to try a scan with the old antenna, just to see what comes up?
Got 72 channels…WOW! Why would anybody get cable?

Looked through them and saw there were still no 8s.

Then I saw my Stupidity.
My DVD Player was still on. I thought I’d turned it off?
If it is on, my tv channels don’t work right…Son Of A Bitch!

I turned it off and did another scan…85 channels!

Has the 8s and all the others I wanted.

The cord is still bad and the channels flicker, so today I’m going to use the new antenna…DUH!

I met a lady from Switzerland. Told her I like their little meatballs.
She got all irate and said they don’t have meatballs. Said I was thinking of Sweden.
I always get those two confused.
I told her I like their cheese.
She smiled.
I asked why it has holes in it?
She said, “Target Practice!”
I backed away.

Gina sent me a railroad hat. Now I can go Working On the Railroad,
But I won’t!
I sent her a Thank You letter.
Just as I put it through the mailbox slot, I realized I had not put postage on it. The box was locked so I could not retrieve it.

I had to wait for the mailman.
I could not see the box from my house, so I had to wait by the box. The temp was 110.

He was due, but I did not know exactly when.
I could not stand there waiting so I walked around a bit. There was a shade tree a ways down the street. I got to it and stood in the shade for awhile.
Those nasty black birds must have had a nest in it because they came down and started yacking at me.
I told them I was just standing there to cool off, but they didn’t believe me.
I saw no signs of the mailman, and started walking back to another shade tree.
As I stood there, I realized it was Flag Day.
The thought occurred to me there was no mail on Flag Day. I had to find out for sure.
I had my phone. I called Google. She said there was mail delivery on Flag Day.
I was relieved and waited for it.
It came, and I put on postage.
I had been out in that heat for two hours.
I’m never doing that again…I Hope!
