Entertainment Industry

I was thinking about the entertainment industry and I don't know about you, but if they didn't produce anything else at all, ever, I think I'd be okay! It seems like there has been enough entertainment material produced over the last 80 years to see me through. Writer's strike? Yawn. This comedian gets bumped from a late show? Who cares? New season line up? ZZZ. Just give me access to a couple of websites with archives of old movies and tv shows, keep it clean and I'd be fine.

An Idea

My problem is all of my nieces and nephews are just too smart. There's not a dim watt in the bunch. And this is unfortunate because I know I wouldn't be able to convince any one of them to help me with my scientific breakthroughs. In my dreams I have a "slow" nephew. One day I come up to him and say, "Winslow, how would you like a nice new shiny nickel?" Upon agreeing with me on that concept I explain to him how he could help me improve mankind's situation. I'd ask him if he really likes brushing his teeth twice a day--up and down, back and forth--"not very fun, is it Winslow?" He would shake his greasy head emphatically in agreement. "Well, I got an idea which could abolish brushing forever. Have you ever heard of 'Scrubbing Bubbles'--you know those friendly looking bubbles that work hard so you don't have to? Well, if they work on your sink, why not work on your teeth?" At this point he's nodding his head up and down like a bobbing head doll. I get a little teary eyed here, "this is too easy," I think to myself, but before I can get some of these friendly bubbles on Winslow's ample buck teeth, I snap out of my dream.
