Years ago, we were out to dinner with friends and with some folks we had never met before, and the topic of conversation turned to TV shows. We all have Netflix and we were comparing notes about our favorite shows.
“There’s a great show called ‘Hung’ on HBO”, one of the new guys offered. And then he lowered his voice a little and said, “And ‘Hung’ is exactly what you think it’s about”.
I’m thinking to myself…a show about people swinging from nooses? Geez…doesn’t sound like something I’d hang around for…no pun intended…but I said, “Oh thanks for the recommendation. We’ll check it out”. Then he told us about the show ‘Dexter’…which is apparently about a serial killer. While he was trying to think of other shows to recommend… I was frantically trying to remember if I had already mentioned my last name or where I lived to him!
Another guy entered the discussion and our new friend said, “You really have to watch ‘Hung’! And, once more, he lowers his voice and says, “And it’s exactly what you think it’s about!” Again, I’m envisioning the gallows.
Someone volunteered, “Oh yeah. ‘Hung”. That’s the show about the gigolo. It’s hilarious!!”
And then I got it. HUNG. Talk about an Aaaahaaa moment!
Now they were all on a roll and started raving about another show ‘Weeds’. I’m thinking…those pesky green things in the soil that you spray Weed B Gone on?
And then…
I had another Aaaahaaa moment!!!
