Gotta go to work early today……so it’s another excerpt from the book…..
As at home, he who has the remote rules. BUT…if you are lucky enough to have the remote firmly clenched in your greasy little popcorn grabbing palm (oh yeah, we have popcorn for everyone who wants it, unless we burn it, then no one wants it), you will be the subject of severe ridicule should you make an error un your choice of programming. (Everything at the bar has it’s price) Everyone at the bar is thrilled for you that your daughter made her high school’s synchronized swimming team, but NO ONE wants to watch it on the local access channel.
Programs depicting surgical procedures would be a bad choice if some are still eating their dinner. I, personally, do not wish to see nature shows about snakes and will remove the remote from your control should you leave on one of these programs for more than five to ten seconds,. (You won’t even know the remote is no longer in your greasy popcorn-grabbing, face-stuffing palm until you try to change the channel. Even then you may not notice).
Since there are three televisions in the bar area, disputes as to what should be on are easily resolved. Majority, or me rules, and that program is shown on the television directly behind the bar.
The next most popular choice is shown on the television that is to the left and back a little from the bar, so one has to sit at an angle. No big deal. The last program, oh forget about the last program, no one really cares anyway.
