Ok - some of you already know this, but for those of you that don't, let me say this video strikes me as very funny as it hits close to home. (Like the way I'm acting as though you're not the only one reading this?)

My parents do not have satellite, they do not have cable, they do not have internet. They use an aerial receiver. Their house is nestled in amongst a gazillion other houses... they do not live in the country - they are Dutch. (well, my Mom is Dutch, my Dad is just cheap - no, "extremely thrifty"). They refuse to spend money, when at least a dozen channels can be watched perfectly clear - and for free.

Funny they spent a small fortune remodeling, residing and adding new eaves troughs to the house, just had a concrete deck poured around the pool, spend to have their pets groomed on a regular basis, pay extraordinary amounts on vet bills for the cat that snots all over the house because of a sinus problem, they buy newspapers and magazines, and the list goes on and on, but for some reason they cannot bring themselves to pay for television?? (another indication that there's a Dutch thing in play is the fact that they have at least 200 rolls of toilet paper in the house at any given time because my Mom will buy it in bulk for no other reason than because it is on sale).

I swear, this is the female version of my Dad!

Enjoy!
