Are You Aware

That disgusting show known as American Idol is back on the boob tube? Well, trust me, I do.

Sweet Wife has it on as I write. My ears hurt.

Now get this: I complained. Asked her to please lower the volume on the screen. She said, are you ready for this....leave the room.

To me.

I can't escape it. Surely God has decided I need punishment for past sins.

      I understand. Cotton in the ears doesn't work.

    Stephen, I feel your pain. The females in my household (3 of them; only 1 of me) watched that show (shudder) until a couple of years ago when it dawned on them what a farce it had become.

    Now they watch cooking shows instead. At least the chefs don't sing.

      I can deal with the food network...the yodels of the untalented, not so much. Thanks, my friend.

    Ha ha ha ha. Go in the garage and find the ammo you havent found yet in your stash. It will clear you mind and heal you.

    Slip outside, or wherever it is, and throw the breaker.

    Yell "Get my guns! ALL OF THEM!" and she'll forget all about those idiotic and phosphorescent colored judges.

    Stephen,

    We just picked up Uverse a week ago (didn't have any cable, just an antenna before)and while flipping through channels, I came across this program. Do you have some ear plugs? Place them in your ears, and continue doing what you do best, load some ammunition, work on your camping equipment or better yet.....pull the house breaker as Lotta Joy stated.

      Didn't think of the earplugs...next time. Thanks, Dear Sandy.

    Cut the cable cord and tell her to fix it herself.

      Next time I speak to Mrs. Duke I'll ask her opinion....real men adjust to their loved one's quirks. Thanks, Bubba.

    I'm not sure which collection of voices are more off-pitch and ear-grating; contestants on said show or one group of night-shift dispatchers at work...

    either way, all I want to do is turn the volume down.
