Subtitles

I recieved this piece of wisdom off a newsletter that normally I don’t even read, but the subject of the mail was: “What if we came with subtitles?”  Brilliant idea, only I’d prefer subtitles, a mute button, fast forward, rewind, pause and most importantly overwrite. .   What do you think?  Seen the movie Click?  I could do with a remote like that :o)

“I had to laugh.  I took my two-year old daughter to the doctor the other day.  Finally, after my mother had persuaded her to let the doctor examine her, my daughter turned to my mother and told her a long garbled story involving the doctor, a crocodile and a balloon. Or that’s what it sounded like.  ”She should come with sub-titles,”  my mother sighed. “It would make talking to her SO much easier!”  I had to agree.  I then got to thinking - wouldn’t it be fantastic if all people came with sub-titles?  Just picture it - you arrive home from work and your wife is absolutely seething. When you ask her what is wrong, she just says: “Nothing!”  And then a sub-title pops up: “I am angry because you said you would be home at six and it is now seven-thirty. The roast leg of lamb has shriveled up in the oven and died.  And I feel taken-for-granted and unloved.” You would then know exactly what to say, as opposed to turning on the TV and writing her bad mood off as PMS. It is SUCH a good idea!”
