Show iftv PET PEEVE Qg? TV. Seatt TT'S football tone again and as usual I have my troubles. My wife Insists on going to every game, but like driving an automobile automo-bile she won't learn what it's all about. This Is a short report of our conversation during the first game: "What are they doing down on their knees?" says she. "Digging in for a goal line stand," says I. "I don't see how they can dig In without shovels or something, and I know they are allowed. Stop your kidding. What are they doing, honey." "Just be still, sweetheart," says L "and let me watch the game WITHOUT A LOT OF STUPID .QUESTIONS." "So I'm stupid now, am I." She turns to her friend on her right. "Isn't that just like a man, Liz. Just because I ask a simple question ques-tion I'm stupid." "I wouldn't stand for it," says Liz. "Please," says I, "will you two shut up and let Harry and me watch the game." "HARRY," Liz shouted, "hit him. He told me to shut up." Harry shrugged. "Wish I had had the nerve to do it myself years ago." "Oh!'-' Liz hissed. "Look at me and say that." "We can't says I, "we're watching watch-ing the game." "You stay out of this," says the wife, "this fight is between Liz and Harry." "O. K." says I. "That suits me." There follows a lot of yak-yak-yak. I can't concentrate on the game and the two women. So I surrendered. "O. K. What do you want to know, honey?" "What," says she, "are they doing down on their knees." "DIGGING IN FOR A GOAL LINE STANDI" That silences her for a moment. "All right, smart guy," says she, "I'll take care of you when we get home." |
