TV Reception

I was having trouble with the TV reception so I climbed up on the roof to adjust the aerial which was attached to the chimney. I moved the aerial around and my friends down below kept watch on the TV screen.

That's good...
No...
Yeah...
A bit more...
Where you had it just then, that was really good...
No, you missed it...

It was a hopeless task. When I had the aerial firmly braced against the chimney the reception was no good. When the reception was good I was always holding the aerial away from the chimney - but as soon as I moved it back towards the chimney, the reception failed again!

Eventually I got utterly pissed off. I picked up the aerial and hurled into the branches of the tree that grew alongside the house - and up through the chimney came the voices of my friends down below:

"That's it. Perfect. Keep it there..."

So that's where the aerial stayed until I moved on three years later.
