Vic, Should have gotten both of you beers... Better tactic, but still
might have gotten you sent to the attic.

I know this is *very* off-topic, but it's a good story. It happened
almost 50 years ago.
My dad and I were watching the World Series on TV (for non-US guys, this
to us was like the World Cup is today). He asked me to get him a beer
from the refrigerator. "Get your own beer, I don't want to miss this", I
said. He responded, "You ungrateful kids, etc., get out of here."
I went up to my attic shack. I had just gotten a new Heathkit GDO, and
I coupled it to a vent pipe that passed through the room. I tuned it
around 100-200 MHz (Mc. then) until I heard a howl from the TV audio,
followed by a howl from my dad.
I stuck my head out of the attic door. "I can fix that if you'll let me
watch the game", I said.
"No," he answered. "It's much simpler. You can fix it or I can fix you."
