A new definition of Hell(TM)

This morning my TV/alarm clock went off.

My remote control was missing.

The TV was locked on The 700 Club.

If that isn't motivation to get up

and turn the TV off, or to another channel, I don't know what is.

I used the remote to turn it off.

I ought to explain my last comment....

My TiVo control is the one that changes the channel. That one was missing. The remote that turns the set on and off (and controls the alarm) was next to me.

I'm reminded of a comment I saw somewhere:

Can you imagine a Jewish televangelist? "OK, so don't give to my ministry. See if I care! But your mother will know you didn't give, and it will break her heart...."

As if waking up isn't painful enough... waking up to The 700 Club does rather add insult to injury!

Especially since I'm not their target audience!

The reason it was on that channel was it's the same one on which "The Simpsons" airs (really!).

LOL!

Now there's a combination for you. Perhaps one is an antidote to the other, in some programmer's mind?

OMGoddess I would be crazed if that happened - glad i have a simple beep alarm.
