TV Free

I have Internet access through our local cable company, and they routinely call me about their "bundling" services.  While the conversation varies, the questions usually run along these lines:

Cable rep: "I see you have Internet, but you don't have cable for your television. We'd like to offer you a great deal to package them."

Me: "I don't have a tv."

CR: "Yes, I see you don't have tv as part of your service.  We can provide you with a package."

Me: "I don't have a tv."

CR: "Did you say you don't have a tv?"

Me: "Correct."

CR: "Not one."

Me: "None."

CR: "Oh. Well, what about your home phone?"

Me: "Don't have that either."

CR: "Hmm.  You probably don't need our bundle then."

Me: "No, probably not."

Today's cable rep took it to a whole new level. She explained that when her family recently moved, they decided to keep televisions out of their bedrooms, but she wasn't ready to give up tv all together.  I can't blame her.  She works for a cable company.  That'd be like me giving up walking and bicycling. Sort of.
