..

My wife is from the Philippines and she has a subscription to the Filipno channel online. Saturday night she was at our computer, which is right next to our TV, watching her soap operas. My son and I were channel surfacing and finally settled on a funny but scary show (I will explain later). So we all sat in the living room and I would glance at what my wife was watching (She uses headphones so I couldn’t hear it) and she would glance at what we were watching.

Sunday morning arrives as usual after Saturday night and while we were drinking coffee she started telling me about a dream she just had. It seems we were back to our old residents and our son was young again. We were in a bar and a couple of girls kept stareing at me and one finally came over and started playing with my hair (Obviously a while back since I have been bald for a while). Well she said she smacked the girls hand and the girl got up and left. My wife was now mad at me and so she got up and went out to the car.

Now it gets weird. Still mad about the incident inside, she decided to drive around. While she was driving she got lost. After finally stopping to ask for directions she was pointed in the right direction to get back to pick us up but that the road to get there was dangerous. So she started driving down the road and out of no where a dinosaur started to run at her car! She tried backing up but the dinosaur was very fast and started banging on her car. Then a truck behind her saw she was in trouble and started to honk. This got the dinosaurs attention and she sped away.

She made it back to the bar and my son and I were now mad but when we saw how frightened she was and the damage to the car we forgot all about the bar incident. End of dream

I told my wife that she couldn’t watch TV anymore. She looked at me funny and said why. Here is why. The girls on your shows are always fighting for some boy so that explains the bar seen. “What were we watching on TV last night?” I asked. “I am not sure” she replyed. “We were watching Americas Worst Driver on the Travel channel and guess where they were? Seattle. ” Our home where are son was born and the drivers are given all kinds of things to do and points are deducted every time they brake a law or get lost. So these people are driving around downtown lost and you were seeing sites that are familiar.

Finally I said do you know what they do to the loser of that show? She shook her head no. They demolition the losers car so they can’t drive. Did you notice how they did that last night? No again with the head shake. Robosaurous! a 40 ft robot dinosaur came over to the last two cars and grabbed the losers car and picked it up into the air. Breathed a little fire on it and then put it in it’s mouth and literally cut it in half with it’s huge metal jaws.

So lets recap.
Bar scene = Philippine Soap Opera
Driving lost in Seattle = Driving lost in Seattle
Dinosaur Chase = Robosaurus devouring loser

You can’t tell me that TV doesn’t influence our subconscious after that!
