#1 He watched the same channel for more than a year, too, since the stupid cow wouldn't get up and change it. That ain't a man's job.

#2 The husband said the two had spent their happiest times together in front of the TV set and he could not bear to part with her.

Since she past away, these were their happiest times together, he was finally free to reign supreme with the remote.

#5 Anyone else remember the story of a German man who was found in his apartment (skeletel in a bathrobe) several years after he died. He was sitting in a chair in fronnt of a TV which had gone out. The were able to determine the date of death because the TV listings were sitting open on his "lap".

He was on disability, and had those deposits made, and rent and utilities automatically withdrawn.

However he "spent" slighly more than he "took in", and the bones were discovered when the electric company was going to turn off his power because the bank rejected the payment.

#6 How come it's always germany that turns up with the cannibals or the necropheliacs or the really creepy child killers? What the hell have you guys been doing over there anyway? It's probably those violent video games, if you had a rating system you wouldn't have shit like this going on, er, uh.
