Burger threw the t.v. away

…Anyhow, I do remember that day.  Clear as mud.  Cuz I was drunk off my ass in a bar in Barstow. The Little Amigo. See, there are bars you go into to impress a date.  And there are bars you go into to get drunk off your ass. And I was drunk off my ass. Do the math.

So this man is in there watching watching the god damn tv that hung in the corner.  It was blaring, and I am mean blaring, some dumb shit god knows what or the other and it was driving me up the fucking wall.  So I says to the bartender “Hey could you turn that motherfucking tv down?”

The bartender gives me a bit of eye, but does what he’s told.  I’m shrugging as he does it to make it clear I’m as easy as a cat. 

Not two seconds after the tv gets turned down than I see the fella who was watching me glaring at me. I may be easy as a cat, but you give me eye and I am going to start hunting you. So I say “what the fuck are you looking at?”

And he says “I’m looking at the dumb mother fucker who had the tv turned down.

I say “Why do you even need to watch the tv in the bar?”

He has an answer for everything and says “Because its the news.  Because it is the god damn news.”

“SO?” I says back to him.

“So?!” He says back to me “I never miss the news.  I need to know what’s next.”

He says “I can’t hear so well. I need volume up so I can hear the news.”

So I say “Captions would be a better option partner.”

“I caint read.  Dipshit.”

“Oh” I say. I felt a bit bad to be honest.  I mean, it weren’t his fault he couldn’t read. No longer feeling so drunk, I settled my bill and left. 

But that was the day I threw my tv away.  So to speak.  I mean I stopped consuming video content that day.  I didn’t want to turn into that asshole. I did the math.

But yeah, I remember that day… you were saying?
