Get with it Earl.

either Earl needs new glasses or Opal needs to have the remote on her side of the sofa

I thought a friend of mine had brought the TV remote to church with her…nope, it was her cordless landline phone. She said the signal would reach her and her husband refuses to answer the phone anyway, whether he’s home alone or not.
I find it annoying that people forget to silence their phones in church anyway, but taking your landline with you?

Nice take on this joke, but this is the third one in the last few months! Sorry to be the downer.

Someone ought to think about getting his stupid eyes checked.

I am a chemistry teacher and one day in class I reached in my bag to take out my graphing calculator to solve a problem. My students laughed when I held the TV remote in my hand!

I’ve been working on an index to my comic strip archive and I haven’t gotten to the folders of Remote Control comics yet
If I remember right there are about 400 to 500 comics about Remotes in my archive and I would bet by the time I finish indexing them I will have found dozens of variations on this theme

Can’t say how many times I’ve grabbed the remote to make a call. When they are set down on the front they look alike!

My over 60 sister was complaining that her cell phone never rang while her daughter was looking at it. It suddenly burst into a song, (her ringtone) and honest-to-God, she blurted out, What IS THAT?
