Great moments in self-entertainment
We had a little shindig at my boss’s new house, half of which is not heated (one furnace isn’t working or something). Someone saw a small box on the wall, and wondered what it was (alarm system panel or thermostat):
Someone: It’s a thermostat.
Someone else: Ah, well it may as well be an alarm system.
Me: Or that computer on Lost
Someone else: Huh?
Me: Never mind. That was for my amusement only.
Someone else: Oh….was it amusing?
Me: Yes, it was very clever.
