Nothing's ON
My husband and I have a joke, when we sit down to watch some television. Actually, it's more like a ritual. It goes like this:
Him: Wanna watch "Sixteen Candles" this time?
Me: Nah. I think "Urban Cowboy" is on tonight.
He makes a show of picking up the remote and clicking around.
Him: Nope. We're both wrong. It's "Dirty Dancing".
[My mother tells me that if you have to explain a joke, it wasn't funny in the first place. But in case this is only funny to me and my husband, the idea is that you can count on three things in life: death, taxes, and any time you turn your tv on, one of these movies will be playing on TBS.]
