Just got home. There was a concert in the park where I work so a bunch of us stayed and went to it. It was Dennis DeYoung (Styx). I didn't stay long. I have to tell you what happened early in the day though.
I got a call from a very nice gentleman who had some questions about his service and the internet and we went through and he asked his questions and I helped him and answered each one and then he asked if he could ask a question about his TV service. I told him he could.

Customer: My son says that channel 55 is supposed to be a sports channel.
Quinn: Yes sir, it is.
Customer: Well there are two men having sex on there.
Quinn: !!! Excuse me? There are men having sex on there?
Every other person in the room popped up from their desk to look at the TVs. It looked like a bunch of prairie dogs.
Quinn: Someone hand me the remote please.

I turned to channel 55 and




Quinn: Sir, that's wrestling. But the picture is frozen and I have to agree that it looks a little bit vulgar. I'll get someone to check it right away.

I hung up the phone, yelled for a tech (who had to stop laughing before he could radio to have it checked) and grabbed my camera.

Some days I just love my job more than others.

I guess we see what we want to see.

I wonder what would Freud say?

Because it was frozen and pixelated right over the pertinant area it really did look as though they might be having sex.

It does look like they are having sex. I actually had to angle my screen to see just what they were doing. But the image of your co-workers as prairie dogs had me giggling!

That's hilarious! Wrestling is weird - boys in tiny undies rolling around - sounds and looks gay to me. But this is not a problem in my world! lol

Dennis DeYoung's parents lived across the street from my family when we lived in the Chicago suburbs. The band is from my 'hood!

omg, that's hysterical! Too bad you couldn't have sent him a QAF scene to show the difference. :)

That is the funniest thing I've heard all week, my brother and I saw this program I think a few days ago and he was trying to explain to me why the guys wrestling moves look the way they did. Mom walked in and asked if he was trying to educate me in the way of the world. hahaha.

I guess the guy wouldn't have called you if it had been women wrestling.

I'm not usually a sports fan, but I could totally watch that!
