one of my peeves

I just have to say it.

What is up with TVs in restaurants?

I mean

 really!

Can people not go without their telle

for an hour??

The magnetic pull of the blue box 

drives me bonkers!

It can be clear across the room,

totally out of hearing distance,

and still 

the eyes of all men and children

are on it.

Take, for example,

the time we went to Mazzio's years ago

and our entire family

was watching

bowling.

Bowling!

Once

we were the only table in view of a television at Western Sizzlin

so I asked that it be turned off.

The manager said they couldn't turn it off

because their guests wanted it on. 

I showed him that we were the only guests in the room

and we didn't want the TV on.

But policy is policy and the tube stayed on.

Crazy!

stepping off my box now...
