Friday Funnies: Can You Hear Me Now?

Back story: 

  • My Motorola Backflip gets no signal inside our house.  If I want to make a call from home, I have to walk out to the road and hang out at the mailbox.  Three paces to the right.  I wish I were kidding.
  • My husband has the “Green Acres” theme song for his ring tone.  (He usually has the volume either low or off.  Which is a good thing.  Because I can’t imagine his phone going off in a business meeting.  Lol!)  He also has the entire “Green Acres” series on DVD.  It cracks me up.
  • My husband is ever helpful, impulsive, unpredictable.  And I find it endearing. 

But I about died laughing when I saw this one evening. 

Green Acres

Can you spot my husband?  Do you see what he has?  Need a closer look?

Signal

Our conversation went something like this.

“Uh.  Whatchadoing up there?” I asked.

“Looking for a signal,” he said.

“Seriously?”

“Yeah.”

“On the roof?”

“Yes. 

“Um.  Stay right there.  I have to get my camera.”

No reply.  And he was still there when I got back.

“Now,”  I asked, my giggles fogging the camera lens, “Why are you looking for signal on the roof?”

“You said you couldn’t get a signal.  (pause)  The best place seems to be on the back side of the roof.”

“Soooooooo?”

“So, if you really want to make a call, now you know where to stand,”  he said simply.  Still staring at the phone.

“You’ve got to be kidding.  I’m not climbing up a ladder to make a call.”

“Why not?  Oliver climbed the telephone pole every time he needed to make a call.”

Don’t you love it?

"New York is where I'd rather stay,
I get allergic smelling hay!
I just adore a penthouse view!
Darlin' I love you but give me Park Avenue!!!"

LOLOL! That cracks me up even more, coz I can so relate! We live in a national forest and I can't get a signal inside. I have to wander around the (several-acre) yard, where once in a blue moon, I might get one bar. I don't think I'll be testing the roof, lol!

Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^

I thought it was bad that I had to sit on the porch or as close to our bedroom window as I could get to get a good signal. You've got me beat! :)
