Ok ok,
TV has so much power. I know it does.
Because I bought the Ginsu knife about five years back. I did. The Ginsu 2000, actually. I can’t believe I did it. I can’t believe I wrote the number down. I can’t believe I called it. I can’t believe I gave them my credit card number.
It was late at night, I was watching the As Seen On TV and it started making sense to me. The guy cuts through the can, cuts through the shoe. I’m thinking, “That looks
pretty good.” I don’t think I can cut through a shoe with any of my knives. What if I get a knot in the laces and I can’t get out of my shoe? How am I going to get out? I’ll have to cut my way out. I need that knife.
So I called up and incredible as it may seem, I actually spoke these words. I said, “I would like to order the Ginsu knife.” Yes, I said it. And the lady on the phone just went, “Really?” Even the Ginsu people can’t believe anybody would actually want this thing.
So now I have it, my shoes are all cut in half, the people i don’t like skinned alive, and I don’t watch TV late at night anymore.
TV has so much power. I know it does.
Cheers
ps: I have since then given away my Ginsu 2000 to the needy.
