Meanwhile, Back on the Couch…

This happened just seconds after I posted today’s ginnygram. And it is just too funny not to share.

Brunch began at noon today. And the Bears vs. Vikings game also began at noon today. Now, Bill and I are used to taping the game, then being on a “media blackout” until we’re home from the lake house. But this was a first attempt at a media blackout for our friend and fellow bruncher Harvey, who was a really good sport and only teased our hostess, Maria, a little bit about her timing.

Bill instructed Harvey on how to find the game on his on-screen TV guide, then simply press the red “record” button on his remote. And that’s just what Harvey did. And we all had brunch, secure in the knowledge that we could all go home, put on our sweatpants, watch the game, fast-foward through the commercials, and even pause the game for a nap, if necessary.

Right at about half-time during our recorded viewing, the phone rang. It was Harvey.

His game didn’t record. Because even though he did everything right, he doesn’t have a DVR!

So Harvey phoned Best Buy and ordered a DVR. And when the customer service representative asked if he had any other questions, Harvey said yes, he did.

“Who won the game?”
