TV-TV

unpack a box that came with it, and found the instructions and
two remote controls, one ordinary-looking black one, and one
that was silver-colored. I hooked the set up to the cable box
and VCR and we sat down to check it out. Gloria took the black
remote control, and flipped through all the cable and regular
channels, and I have to admit, the set was great. The picture
quality was fantastic, and the audio was a tremendous stereo
quality with very good speakers. "Wow, this is really a nice
set," I said, as we sat there watching "L.A. Law". "It should
be," Gloria said, "it cost $5,000." "Five grand?" I said,
"that's ridiculous. I know its good quality, but five thousand

scene changed, and I was in Arnie's office, seeing a client, and
before I knew what was happening, I was kissing this beautiful
actress. She was absolutely gorgeous, and I was really enjoying
it, when the dizziness returned and I was back on the couch next
to Gloria.

"Holy shit," I said, "you'll never believe what just happened! I
was Arnie, living the show. It was unbelieveable!" "Still think
I got taken for a ride, spending $5,000 for this TV?" Gloria
asked me. "No, its great, you have to try it," I told her. She
explained the directions to me, how to use the silver remote,
