Agh! What is that?
“It’s just an HDMI cable.”
Whew! I thought it was ten-foot snake!
“Why would I be connecting a snake to the back of the TV?”
I don’t know ... you’ve done stranger things before. Besides, there have been reports on the news about an infestation of snakes in people’s homes around here lately.
“Well, there are no snakes in our house.”
Why did you buy that cable anyway?
“I got the ten-footer so that I could connect things to the TV, like my laptop or game system or disc player, without having to worry about it not reaching far enough.”
Couldn’t you just use one of those regular cables that we’ve had forever?
“Are you kidding? If you want amazing looking video and the highest quality audio, you’ve got to use HDMI. It brings out the best sound and picture for all your high definition equipment.”
Wow. And at that price? We oughta buy ten of them!
“I’m way ahead of you. Speaking of, can you go grab me another one? It’s over in that bag.”
No problem. I can’t wait to watch to my favorite show tonight with this new HDMI cable!
“Agh!”
What is it?
“That’s not a cable! That’s ... that's a snake!”
Yeah, right. Why would you have bought a snake at the electronics store?
Hissssssssssss ...
