The problem with overeating (among others) is that you really feel like doing absolutely nothing afterwards. I bet the person who invented the television was an overeater. They'd munch it up and plant themselves somewhere and say, "I wish I had something interesting to look at right now but i don't want to leave the house, and as a matter of fact, I don't wanna move from this chair. If only something interesting were happening a few feet away from me, that would be perfect."

and thus the TV was born.

a short time after when fatty foods became more and more abundant, someone thought. "You know watching the TV is my favorite thing to do after a big meal. But you know what would be better... if I didn't have to keep getting up to change the darn channel."

and thus the remote control was born.

I could go on with my theories for the VCR, DVD player and TiVo, but I'm so stuffed right now my fingers feel bloated.


I think I'll just watch some TV.
