Got a call from the wifey today. She said that we have a problem. Seems that our TV stopped working. We just get a msg that says something along the lines of our system does not support HDMI and we have to use component cables. Funny, we've been using HDMI cables for over 2 years now. Wifey asks me what to do. I told her to just swap cables with the HDMI player that is using component cables already. She says no, she doesn't want to touch anything. So I told her that there wasn't much I could do until I get home. After a few minutes I try to contact the cable company to see if they can tell me what's going on. But the number on their website doesn't work. I call home to see if wifey can give me a number from the last invoice. Here is how the call went.
Me: Honey, the phone number that the cable company has on their website doesn't work.
Her: Do you think they went out of business?
Me: Huh? Uh, no. Can you check our last invoice to let me know what phone number is listed there?
Her: No, I'll get it.
(short wait)
Her: Here is the number.
Me: Thanks, I'll call them.
Her: It's on.
Me: What's on? The TV?
Her: No, it's working.
Me: What's working?
Her: The TV.
Me: The big one?
Her: No, the one in the bedroom.
Me: The big one in the bedroom?
Her: No, the big one.
Me: Does the one in the living room work?
Her: No, it's on.
Me: The big one?
Yes: The small one.
Me: Does the big TV in the living room work?
Her: No, it's on.
Me: It's on?
Her: Yes.
Me: So it's working?
Her: Yes.
Me: So everything is ok?
Her: Yes.
WTF!?
