A LINE THE DUKE MIGHT HAVE SAID

Surfing. Channels that is. I don't care for most commercials. And there are far too many for me. Most are repetitious, simply because my tastes in tv programming run the gamut from A to D. Not much more. So to avoid seeing the same ones over and over, I click.

So without further adieu, these bits are what I found when surfing the tv and writing down what I heard.

I can give you advice. I'm great at advice./ The stuff's here and there's a lot of it./ Wanna bet?/ Someone exactly like you--the best is yet to come./ If the truth can be told, we can make it together./I was just looking for my office./ I'm coming for you./ What if I say no?/ When I left home she was not very well./ What was his secret?/ Para los ninos./ She's going to find someone else she likes better./ I need your help./ You want to come over and sleep with me, right?/ I wish they'll all be gone./ That's what we need--excitement./ Sounds like it's time to play./ I have it in beige, classic white, avocado./ Probably the best place is Home Depot./ You don't work for me anymore.

So what does it all prove? I don't know, but if I were teaching Creative Writing, I'd assign a short story to be written using one of the tv lines. But somehow, I don't see Mr. Wayne uttering any of the lines. Tv's become such a wasteland.
