TRUE STORY.
The lizards are conspiring with DirecTV. I deduced their dastardly plot last night when attempting to tune into the SyFy channel. Tho there was not a cloud in the sky, all I received was the "searching for satellite signal" signal. I checked several other channels and STRANGELY some of them came in as they always have, and some did not. MYSTERIOUSLY it was only the channels I wanted to watch which failed. I called up DirecTV in a panic, the nice lady talked me through some satellite tests, THEN she said I'd have to schedule a service call because some wires might be loose... I hesitated, she said the problem wouldn't go away on its own, still I hesitated (becoming SUSPICIOUS), I told her I'd call her back to schedule the service call. She replied CHIPPERLY, OK have a nice day! I hung up the phone, and began searching for a flashlight (TORCH, OK?
) with working batteries. I went outside and tiptoed into the backyard... lo and behold a LIZARD was camped out on my satellite dish, craftily blocking only the satellites which provide the channels I wanted to see. He tightened his grip but he was no match for me, I flicked him off the satellite dish with a triumphant laugh.
