Real TV

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A man suspended his television from the ceiling so he could lie on his back and watch it. He tied one end of his rope to the tv, hoisted it up on a lamp hook fixed in the ceiling, and tied the other end to the foot of his bed. Sometimes during commercial break he would masturbate. One evening during commercial break the foot of old metal bed frame broke loose and the tv fell from the ceiling and struck the mans head killing him instantly.

The comment about masturbation makes this sound as if it should be a personal account. "Was you dere, Anonymous?"

I think this is iffy at best - it was a stupid setup, but not astoundingly so. Still, if in doubt, let the readers decide.

Third sentence is irrelevant. I do think it needs verification, and it is unlikely we'll find 12-year-old newspare archives on the Web.
