(I remember my first TV remote, in the 70s. It was sonic, not infrared, so channel-surfing sounded like CHUNG!! CHUNG!! CHUNG!! I also remember when my mother did all our laundry by hand on a scrub-board. Believe me, machines are better. Tarnation, I’ll bet you young whippersnappers don’t even know what a scrub-board looks like, by cracky!)

I do my laundry that way all the time.

I’m not sure if that’s funny. Over here, MOST people do their laundry by hand.

I don’t expect that he thinks she knows anything about laundry.

I remember when TV was black and white and no remote. The first remotes were wired and you couldn’t lose them.

This is my first venture over here. Are they all this funny?
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 15 years ago
Yep!

Oh Brewster, how the heck do you remain so fit looking—you do as little as possible, always!

When I was a child (in days of yore) my dad had a wireless remote control, me.

It wasn’t the scrub boards that got to me, it was the wringer. One of my uncles had the wringer strip the flesh from his left arm, poor guy.

Laundry? What is this, “laundry”? And what does one do to it? Why? Are you people still using television? We thought you’d be up to holovision by now.

and when did I become a “pro”??? I didn’t apply for it! I’m scared now!
RogOregon over 15 years ago
It says we are all “Pro” now, but if you try something like looking at comics more than a month old, it knows that you aren’t really “Pro”.

Wow! Next, let’s try sweeping the floors with a broom, instead of using a ‘bot.

Hey, Brewster…can you say “spare”? :)

I bought my first TV in 1981. Also first I dealt with with remote control.
Much fun.

these days we just use our smart phones as a TV. Also sometimes new TV’s have basic buttons or no buttons relying entirely on the remote.
