I rarely watch TV. When I do, it’s generally during my lunch break at work because the TV’s always on anyway. At home, I hardly ever can just sit and watch; it feels like a waste of time. I do sometimes however flip it on for background noise while I’m doing something else, like today.
Taking a break from housecleaning this afternoon (yay, our laundry is totally done and our kitchen is spotless for once) I switched on the TV and happened to catch Family Feud. Sitting down with a pile of coupons to cut, at one point I found myself drawn into a segment where the question was “Besides washing their bodies, what is something people do in the shower?” The first answer given was my own first thought: shampoo/condition one’s hair. Another no-brainer was to shave, and the top answer was sing. The contestants offered a few other reasonable suggestions like planning one’s day or using the hot water as a massage for “tired old bones” LOL but the only other answer that the host accepted was brushing one’s teeth.
Finally, the round was over and the host asked for the remaining answers to be unveiled. The first was making love, to which all those onscreen raised their eyebrows and glanced at one another … making me wonder if they’d all been thinking it but didn’t want to say it. The next answer to be exposed was “tinkle” … and yes, that includes the quotation marks. I thought, seriously, the people surveyed gave that answer? Obviously the host and contestants were having the same reaction. And then the final display was “clean the shower” to which the host replied, “Well now I have to!”
And this is what I get for watching TV. Wow. I think I’m putting in a movie now instead.
