Just about anything used as a remote uses batteries now days.

Earl stuck his foot in his mouth on that one.

practice what you preach, Earl

Do as I say, not as I do. Or one of the other great lessons in non-parenting!

I don’t see any way to manually change the channel on our new TV, and I’ve looked.

Just do it, Nelson.

whats good for Nelson i guess is not so good for gram-pa.

Well, you can still use the toothbrush without a battery, but you can’t use the remote without one. So go change it Nelson

Confucius say " New batteries cause chipped teeth ".

Set an example, Gramps…you miss a chance to make a point.

Effort and Earl…….two words that are opposite.

The original labor-saving device was getting someone else to do the work for you.

What’s the magic word, Earl?

LOL xxx

orinoco womble: It is probably just around the edge of the screen, but won’t have much more than on/off, volume, and channel, and cannot be used (other than maybe off) if you are on cable or satellite. But it is there just the same and covered in the instruction manual (minus the above exceptions, of course).

My dad always said “Don’t do as do, do as I say”. Earl is a hypocrite.

Snerk!
