feeling pretty cool with my transiter radio and all 2 or 3 stations it could pick AM/FM
never happened to me but i did have the shame of standing or sitting on the corner stool for talking on many occasions i'm sure its on my permanent record,
watching black and white TV, having to get up to change the channel and watching Red Skeleton (tho his sad clown would make me so sad), Wild Kingdom, Andy Williams,Jack Benny
