Remember [THIS?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=450438) Well it happened to me again. Sort of.

I came home last night. My wife was asleep on the couch. The television was on in the living room. I don’t know what show was on, but there was a banner on the bottom of the screen about a huge storm coming in. Then the local weather guy broke in and started showing maps of this huge freaking storm coming in that’s going to last all weekend. God Damn it to hell!:mad: I wanted to get some motorcycle riding in this weekend! Shit am I pissed!:mad:

Then my wife woke up and said [yawn:o] “you can turn this off”.

It was a recording of a show she likes. A recording she made over 3 weeks ago!!!

**D’OH!** :smack:

But at least i’m clear to ride this weekend!:)🆒

You know what, I needed that laugh. Both from this thread and the previous one. Thanks!

Shhh! Don’t tell anyone, but I hear that the Navy has started a huge operation against the Japanese near one of those small atolls to the Northeast of Hawaii. I hope this time we teach 'em to regret Pearl Harbor!

Just be real careful to check the dates when comparing your lottery tickets to the televised drawing. You’d hate to have somebody pull the prank where they buy you a ticket with last week’s winning numbers & then play “tonight’s” drawing from their DVR.
