Give 'em What They Want

Laymore Witts was telling the barbershop gang this morning about his kids badgering him for a TV in their rooms. He has a son and two daughters. He decided he would give them each a TV set (of a sort.)
Laymore went down to B & B TV repair and found three old TV sets (not the flat kind but the ones that were big because they needed tubes to make 'em work.) He took out all the innards and threw the tubes and wires away. Then he build a nice book shelf that would just fit in the frame. Next, he contacted the English teacher for each of his children and got a list of the recommended books for summer reading. He ordered these online and when they came in placed them in the appropriate TV frame. While the children were at school, Laymore and his wife, Lurleen, installed the sets in their children's rooms. That was two weeks ago. Laymore told us this morning, that he has not heard one word from any of his kids about his nice surprise.
