The lady at the counter in Walmart says: (insert Country accent here) "Y'all got one of them fan-C cars with that fan-C TV thingy?"
I smiled and said: "Ma'am, if you have little children and travel with them and don't wish to stick your finger way down into your eye socket by the end of the trip, you MUST have a dvd player in your car"....I go on to say,"You know, they sell them here at Walmart for around $100, totally worth it !"
She says (I am not kidding), we just put our TV with VCR in between the front seat and play our tapes when we are taking a long drive. I have to keep my hand on the top of the dang thing so it doesn't fall on anyone.
After a long pause and I am sure a mouth wide open stare, I say, I bet you could get a discount on the one here and it would be SO much better, you can strap it to the head rest and not have to hold it at all, wouldn't that be nice, you could drink a coke with your free hands.

Hey, that's what we used to do! Except with a laptop, of course. Thank goodness for cars with DVD players in them, and for the people that invented them!
ReplyDeleteHey, at least she is YOUNG...I have been asked about being Peg Bundy or Sara Gilbert...Geez... :) It's nice to be a legend in your own eyes - huh? At least you have ONE fan in your club that way... :) HAHAHAHAHA :) You crack me up.
ReplyDeleteSo I can't take our 55 inch TV on vacation with us, this summer? Crap, that sucks. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust kiddin'...we have one of them there fancy DVD things for our car. haha.
Call me crazy, but we have travelled to Florida, not once, not twice, but 3 times with 2 kids and no DVD player. I know crazy...just crazy.
ReplyDeleteI did the TV thing for two different 17 hour road trips. I finally broked down and got the DVD player.
ReplyDeleteSounds like what friends of ours have done in the past.........
ReplyDeleteDid they move to SA?

It takes ALL kinds, doesn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is soo funny! I totally agree with you though about having a dvd player. We have 2 cars and have a dvd player in both of our fan-c cars!!! lol
ReplyDeleteI never would have even THOUGHT of taking my TV in the car. That is creativity at it's best. It's also crazy at it's best but I won't mention that ! :)
