We were scattered in various rooms throughout the house except the one that had the TV. Our high tech, hi-def
audio-visual shrine was on with the sound loud enough so we could all hear that annoying yet comforting background noise that only TV can provide. Suddenly, we all heard the announcement "Coming up next, how to get rid of belly fat -- the easiest and most effective ways possible!" Within seconds, we drowned out the noise from the TV with our thunderous stampede to the entertainment room like the rotund elephants we were all becoming. Even
the dog has the look of a 3 foot long, roly-poly sausage that waddles rapidly along on 2 inch legs.
A devious television channel would have us all pile in front of its luminescent screen and then proceed with "but first, this piece on
adorable puppies." Unless those adorable puppies were covered in creamy milk chocolate, our disappointment would force us out of the room and back to our previous unproductive activities. With a few more "coming up next…" followed a few second later with "but first…", an enterprising exercise channel could have us yo-yoing back and forth without us realizing we were being forced to exercise.
But that's not what happened.
