Another Sign Of The Apocolypse

I witnessed something last night that was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.  It was bizarre, even by our VFW post standards.  In fact, even today I'm having a hard time believing that it actually happened. 

I met our Auxiliary treasurer at the VFW post last night so she could go over the procedures and reports for counting/processing the bingo money so I can fill in for her next week while she's out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday.  We counted the money and had it all back in the safe, and went out front to visit with her husband for awhile.  We were sitting there chatting when three VFW members came in, just getting home from a day of fishing.  They hadn't even sat down on the barstools when one of them asked the bartender for the remote control so he could change the TV channel.  It was a little after 9:00, so we assumed he was going to change the station to ESPN for Monday Night Football.  Boy, were we wrong.  He changed the channel to ABC so they (meaning, those three guys) could watch "Dancing With The Stars."  It's not like those three guys are sissies; they're manly men - and are veterans and avid hunters and fisherman.  One of the guys was a semi-pro race car driver, too.  I guess they just wanted to watch "Dancing With The Stars" in hi-definition.
