Tv Dinner
My brother and his wife used to spend a good many weekends at their cabin alongside a pond in central NL. Unfortunately they went in one weekend and discovered that someone had broken in and had taken a number of items. They decided from then on to take some valuables home with them and hide the others. On the next trip to the cabin they found everything to be in order, so they lit the enterprise wood stove and were settling in for the night. Suddenly he told his wife that he smelled plastic burning. She jumped up from the couch when she remembered that she had placed their 12" tv in the oven for safe keeping .Except for a few melted corners they managed to salvage it. They enjoyed a god laugh. Shortly after he went outside and saw the gentleman who owned the next cabin and whose wife had stayed home. He asked him if he wanted to join them for supper. When his neighbour asked what was on the menu, my brother, a known wit, replied, "tv dinner". Submitted By: Ed Power
