Men, Women and the idiot box!

men seem to flip around the television more than women. Men get that remote control in their hands, they dont even know what the hell they're not watching. You know we just keep going, "return, that's stupid, he's stupid, she's stupid, change, change, change.. till it is not stupid for a while when a slight hint of stupidity creeps into the show the remote control is hastily taken and the channel is changed.

woman:"what are you watching ?"

man:"I don't care, i gotta keep going."

woman:"who was that on that show?"

man:"i don't know what it was, it doesn't matter, it's not your fault or the show's for that matter, it's just that i got to keep changing the channel."

woman:"i think that was a documentary of our child"

man:"don't care, what else is on?"

Women don't do this. Women will stop and go, "Well let me see what the show is, before I change the channel." "Let me check out the new advertisement, haven't seen it before!" They think maybe they can nurture it, work with it, help it grow into something. They are too concerned about the people in the TV, they feel like by not watching some show they are being rude to the people inside the TV. Men don't do that. Because women nest and men hunt (well we are not early people now but still, that's how it used to be innit? ) That's why we watch TV differently.

Before there was flipping around, before there was television, kings and Pharaohs had storytellers. That was the entertainment. ( besides conquering nations, wearing golden crowns, riding horses and banishing random people) I wonder if they ever would get thirty odd storytellers together so they could flip around. Just go, " All right start telling me, a story, what's happening?..... I don't don't want to hear any more shut up." Then go to the next guy and ask " what are you talking about, is there a girl in the story..... no? shut up." The next guy "what have you got?....... why is your accent so stupid? .... you are banished from this nation, I never want to hear you talk ever again!" Then finally, " NO forget it all of you, get out of here I'm going to sleep now."
