Side Effects on TV

I know I've mentioned before that the local news is a crap shot of interesting folks. One channel has a nice-looking woman who looks very mean and stern all the time. She is young and boy she looks pissed off. Rick calls her resting bitch face but it's meaner than that. She is scary, yet pretty. If she ever smiled I fear it would just be a sinister smile.

The men dress well enough. But they have a lot of very overweight weather and newscasters. One guy insists on buttoning his jacket and I want to tell him it's not hiding his belly because the buttons are pulling and your eyes go right to this so no hiding is taking place mister TV reporter. They would never allow a fat woman on the air. Go think about it - ever seen one? See a shit ton of fat guys though, don't you? These guys down here are B-I-G.

The women are all young and dress like they are out clubbing. 

The other morning once again Rick says, did you get a load of what so and so was wearing this morning?  Yes, I did indeed. Wasn't it a bit slutty for morning news? I laughed and said it was a bit slutty for any occasion unless you wish to look slutty. So maybe that's her thing and her boss doesn't mind. I find it off-putting. I don't hear anything because I am wondering if she has panties on under that dress. Rick says, "Hey that's what I'm thinking"  

I laughed, as usual, knowing full well he was thinking that but in a far different context than I was. 

Speaking of childish.

We were watching a TV show last night and a commercial came on. 

The commercial was for diabetes but for some reason, Rick thought it was for psoriasis.

One of the symptoms was said quickly. 

Said so quickly we both went, "what did he say" and we began laughing. 

So we rewound it and put on closed captions. That's what he said.

Then we paused it to read the side effects of small print on the screen. 

Sure enough, you could get an infection in your "taint" (perineum) 

OMG.

We laughed so hard. Although If I had one I wouldn't find it funny at all.

Then my crazy hubby says, "well isn't that the medicine our friend is on? Did she mention to you if she had an infected taint?"

Now I am laughing so hard I can't respond. NO Richard she did not mention this to me because this is not what she takes.

Once he heard the word "taint" he was off and running.

Finally, I remind him that our friend has psoriasis and this medication is for diabetes. Then like Emily Latella's character on SNL, he says, "Oh never mind"

In the meantime, I was still howling with laughter. 

The man is a sick puppy but I love that I got my dose of belly laughs in last night.
