A ladder would be nice

I was at home alone all day today. This is not a complaint, it is merely a statement of fact. I rather enjoy having the whole house to myself, actually. It is quiet, nobody bothers me, I can sleep as long as I want, I can eat whenever I want without being disturbed, and I can watch whatever I want to watch on television . . . . usually! Today, however I was unable to watch any t.v. I couldn't find any of the remote controls. At first, I was okay with it. I figured, no problem; I'll just take a nap, but one can only nap for so long before one needs a diversion. I came out to the den to watch the tube, but the remote was nowhere to be found. I went into the oldest girls room to watch her t.v., but the remote was missing. I checked each room with a television and every room revealed the same thing - NO REMOTE! I was furious! My roommate always complains about missing remotes, and I actually thought he had gotten a handle on the situation. No one is allowed to move his remote control! He ALWAYS leaves the remote beside his chair, and everyone in the house knows that they are not supposed to move it from it's designated spot. But what am I supposed to do when my roommate doesn't comply with his own rules? That idiot didn't leave the remote where it was supposed to be. Jeesh!

I think there is a button somewhere on top of the television set that will turn the unit on. I've seen my roommate's girlfriend turn the t.v. on like that before. But before you ask me why I didn't try that option, remember that it is rude to question short folks. Vertically challenged comments tend to be annoying. Man! What a terrible day!

As my frustration mounted concerning the remote control issue, I realized that at least my roommate had brought the newspaper inside before he and the short curly haired girl left this morning. However, that proved to be frustrating, too.

Rubber bands appear to be pretty self-explanatory, but trust me! They aren't.
