Picture this: After a wonderful dinner, the happy couple decided to watch a little television. All is well in our little home. Since there wasn't much on that appealed to the hubby, he ventured into his office to work on programming our fancy remote. The content wife moved over into the comfy chair holding the remote in her hand. And this is were she made her mistake. She not so stealthily flipped over to the CMA Awards. Sugarland's live performance of "Stuck Like Glue" filled the otherwise quiet home. It took about two seconds for the husband to be back in the living room. She tried to conceal the evidence by using the "previous channel" button, but it was too late. Her mischievous husband used his fine technology skills to put a password block on the forbidden channel and disappeared down the hall. Here is where it gets interesting: The wife tries every four digit combination she can imagine. After a few tries, the smart television decides that maybe this person does not have permission to unlock the channel, and begins adding a second delay for each incorrect answer  The husband is laughing shamelessly at his wife's frustration and decides to help. Unfortunately, the dear sweet husband appears to have short term memory loss, and is unable to remember the pass code he had entered just moments ago. We were up to a thirty-second delay. With the couple laughing hysterically, the wife calls DirecTV to have the channel unlocked. Even the customer service representative is laughing at this point. After a few minutes, and having the husband give verbal authorization that his wife may watch channel 33, our hero unlocks the channel. All is right with the world. After some playful banter, the wife proceeds to watch about ten minutes of her show, followed by an evening of male programming. Oh well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
