#19: Recalcitrant Television
The Question
the Don Shaun:
A senior member of our family has come under significant fire from her television set. Every morning, several hours before she would like to wake up, it comes on at an unreasonably high volume pumping static into her living quarters.
Repeated investigations of the physical evidence reveal that the timer function for the television remains, as it always has, in the ‘off’ position.
Why oh why would a TV do this to an 82 year old lady? What can be done to tame this insatiable beast?
Please note that suggestions to purchase a replacement have been met with a dim view; at the end of the day, she would very much like her [expletive deleted] television to work.
Your friend indeed,
Jules
