What in the world would we do without our remote controls?
Monk…you got stuck doing that too? I had to change the channel for my older sisters and brother. So much for being the "baby" of the family…. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I remember the remote I had when I was little. It was to a Zeneth and it made that clicking sound to change the channels. Hence calling it 'The Clicker.'
