Drew (and Cletis)
Drew sits at the window. Cletis takes the seat beside him.
Drew: I think I’ve finally figured out why they call them “TV dinners.”
Cletis: Oh yeah?
Drew: Yes. The philosophy of having something so simple as to be able to cook it without any preparation ahead of time, allows one to watch television whilst awaiting a delicious meal with minimal effort.
Cletis: Huh. I thought it was ’cause when you stick ’em in the microwave you can watch them go around and around, just like you was watchin’ TV.
Drew: (thinks for a moment) It could be that too.
Next stop: Friday, August 3rd, 8:00pm

Were it not for the fact that the TV dinner came out long before the microwave oven, I could very easily see that.

But having said that, I didn’t realize the joke existed until I saw the dog sitting outside waiting to come back in and noticed the note still there. So it wasn’t entirely staged.
