Don't Say It

Don't Say It
(A living room. A man sits in front of his TV with his wife in the background, on her way to the kitchen.)

Wife: Why do you watch that horrible news? They're never right about anything!

Man: Because I want my money's worth from the cable bill. (Exit wife.)

TV: And the president of Shifty Shingles guarantees that his roofing product is not the slightest bit defective. (The roof caves in. His wife re-enters.)

Wife: Is everything all right in here?

Man: Yeah, remind me to call the roofer in the morning.

TV: And now over to weather. And it looks like sunny skies will stay with us until at least the week-end! (A thunderclap is followed by a torrent of rain. The man sits stoically and continues watching the broadcast.) And now for our top story about a local terrorist who gained possession of a nuclear warhead. We have just been informed that-

Man: DON'T SAY IT!

TV: -the suspect has been apprehended by the authorities, along with his weapon of mass destruction...

Man: NO! (A blinding flash is followed by total darkness.)
