Funny Stuff From Dave Barry

"I remember when we got our first TV. Dad set it up, then climbed up onto our roof to try to aim the antenna at New York City. Then he yelled down to us, and we turned the 'ON' knob, and the tiny screen started to glow, and then we saw it, right in our living room, and incredible miracle: static. Oh, sure, we'd HEARD static before, but this was the first time we'd ever actually SEEN it. And this static was coming all the way from New York."
