Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 02, 2021

That’s pretty cool.

When in doubt read the destructions. — Old Saying

My streaming box doesn’t have any buttons.

Attach the remote to your recliner.

Little known fact. Women come with instructions. Is it any wonder that men are clueless?

Where did all the TV remotes go when you can’t find them?

To a remote island…

Two friends met at the neighborhood supermarket.

When they got to the checkout one of the ladies started rummaging through her purse for her wallet, she took out a few things, including a TV remote.

“Do you always take the remote with you when you go shopping?” The other woman laughed.

“No,” the woman answered “But I asked my husband if he wanted to help me shop and he said no. I asked him if I could take the car and he replied that as long as I left him the TV, I could take whatever I wanted and get out of the house.

So I turned to the fashion channel and told him he had nothing to worry about.

Reading instructions is a sign of weakness!

SAY WHAT ? who Knew , ahmm you wouldn’t have a extra set you could spare would you ?

Got my first smart phone a few weeks ago. I’ve already had to use my land line three times to find it.

Ah, the never ending attempt to make men look stupid. The 2021 version of “men can’t set the VCR clock”. What a load of rubbish.

Hmmm…I wonder if my remote has one of those…

Men never read the instructions until someone gets hurt.

The secret of his success.

More likely I’m calling my wife’s phone so she can find it. She used to have a Band that could locate the phone, but one of the dogs got the Band.

Read the instructions as a last resort……..secretly! ;o}

Thanks Arlo, you just made all husbands screaming idiots!

The book on understanding women has never been written. Not enough paper to print it and as soon as it is published, you find out that it is all wrong. Don’t try to understand women…just love us. Much easier and less aggravation.

There’s a button!?!

Stop making sense.

I never lose my remote, of course I don’t have a TV so that may explain it. . . .

Aww, maaan…

Instructions are for kneeling on while we fumble trying to assemble the darn thing.

If all else fails, read the instructions!

It’s the opposite in our house – I always read the instructions, she never does

men supposedly never ask for directions or read instructions for any item purchased. Its a saying embedded in our culture, just like the saying that all Blonde women are dumb. both saying are somewhat true. I know some men who will never ask directions just as I and other men I know are willing to ask directions and read instructions. Just as I know that a very few blondes are dumb, most of the blonde women I know are smart. But people will believe in the oddest things

It’s the manly thing to try to figure things out for yourself, then read the instructions when things don’t work, and no one is looking.

Streaming box?

I rarely lose things. I have a place for everything and I always put them back in the right place.

“When all else fails…read the instructions.”

The instructions say so, or so I have been told by people who have also never verified the claim.

The day is validated when you learn something new.

Back when cordless phones were a new(ish) thing, I found my uncle’s phone under his bed by using the button on the base to ring the phone. He was amazed.

And for those who worked I.T. RTFM

That’s my bride. She wants to know how to do something with electronics we’ve had for years. I will tell her until she repeats the process to me, then I’ll write it down. The next night, she’s lost the instructions and somehow it’s my fault. I have made word files for every electronic process she’s asked about, so all I do is hit print.

Jimmy, this one is a keeper.

He still won’t read the manuals.

Everyone of our remotes has an assigned location and is kept there except the instant that one is using it.

Meg – What manuals? Nothing seems to have one any longer, especially TV related electronics. If one is lucky there is a small piece of paper with some first time setup instructions. Husband bought himself some hard drive intended to let one download and record TV shows to time shift (as we did back in the 1970s with our Beta recorder, followed by our VHS recorder, followed by our DVD recorder until our cable co would no longer allow a timer to work it with it – hence why he was interested in this one. The instructions were of little value especially since hard drive could not find our wifi signal – even when we took upstairs and sat it next to the modem. Guess who had to call the manufacturer and sit on hold to find out to resolve – I don’t remember what he had to do, but it worked finally afterwards – know how long one sits on hold for help the days after Christmas….

The half page of instructions have been scanned into my computer files of instructions and warranties and filed with the “toss out at the end of 2021” instructions and warranties.

Any new electronics you do not get an owners manual. You have to search for it online.
