King of Bullshit

 Many years ago, I had a young computer intern name Jason. Jason considered himself to be a genius, so it was always fun to bring him down to reality.

I can't recall why Jason was in my office, but some how he mentioned B&W television. I told him there has never been a B&W television.
Jason looked at me bewildered, unaware that he was talking to the King of Bullshit.
"What do you mean?" asked Jason.
"The only televisions and cameras ever made were color," I answered.
All I got from Jason was a deer in the headlights look.
"What?" asked Jason.
"Televisions and cameras were always color," I told him. "In the old days, life was B&W."
Jason walked away, shaking his head.

Harvey

 I was awakened at 8 AM for breakfast. My aide was standing next to me with a food tray. I groggily said good morning. She was new and we introduced ourselves.

It is now 8:05. I sat up to eat breakfast. My TV was on. Channel 28. The sound was muted.

I hardly watch TV at all. The TV news in the morning mainly, channels 4 or 5 (NBC and ABC). I can't begin to tell you what a channel 28 is. I never mute the TV for any reason.

The TV remote was not in its spot, which is in an old desk organizer of mine on my night stand. As on my boats, everything in its place. It was sitting on my night stand. I never put it there. When I turn on the TV, back in the organizer it goes so I can find it to turn the TV off.

My invisible roommate also opens closet and bathroom doors that are always closed. Sometimes, but rarely, opens the big window shade during the night. He moves other things, like apples from my food tray.

I have named him Harvey, since he cannot tell me his name himself. He doesn't seem to mind. Being a guy, I can call him any name I want, just don't call him late for dinner. HAHAHAHA... Harvey has my quirky sense of humor.
