Ever watch any of the home improvement shows on tv, you know, the ones where they renovate an entire home in a week? Here's my list of why these programs can't possibly be real:
1) there are no carpenters hanging around smoking cigarettes and flicking butts all over the place.
2) they don't have a general contractor who's favorite line is "that's gonna need a change order, I'll get back to you with the cost".
3) there are no building departments that not only feel I alone am responsible for making up the fiscal deficit of the county, but repond with a speed that I can only describe as "glacial".
4) in the television shows there are no building inspectors who are going through a divorce... and take it out on everyone in their path.
5) and finally, on tv things actually get done on schedule.
Well, you *THINK* that it is done on schedule. How do you really know? After all it is the MSM that is putting on these shows. :-)

good point, the SEE-BS shows are immediately suspect!
