I steeled myself tonight, and admitted a long time aversion. Dear Husband was watching a show about dirty jobs. I asked, “WHY, do you enjoy that.” He said it was because it was about jobs that he wouldn’t want to do. “So WHY do you watch it?”
\nI never did get a good answer.
\nDH will watch virtually anything science. He loves the programs that guess about the creation of the universe, or about probes and satellites we’ve sent into outer space. He likes archeology, and geology, and those goofy programs where college kids are given a bag of parts or limitations and told to go forth and create the winning machine.
\nHe LOVES old WWII movies. We tuned in to one where they were landing planes on an aircraft carrier, with Robert Taylor and Walter Pigeon. We’ve seen enough of these movies to be able to write one, so I started calling out the possibilities…..his tire is going to fall off on landing, he’s going to overshoot the mark and hit the other planes, he’s going to hit the tower, he’s going to go over the edge into the drink. And finally…..the SHARKS will get him.
\nI am sick unto death about SHARK SHOWS!! We ALL know how dangerous sharks are, yet there must easily be 24 documentaries showing a photographer being slooooowwwwly lowered into the water in a cage while some jerk drops shark bait around him. It’s no surprise the shark tries to chew through the cage to get at the man photographing him. Men seem to be fixated on sharks and their danger, and I have to tell you ladies and gentlemen, I have an aversion to shark shows!
\nI can deal with the science shows, and I’ll sit through all the WWII movies, but we’ve seen our last shark show.
