Remote Switcheroo

Slipping back inside after that backyard hose caper was too quiet, so I scrambled onto the dark coffee table to find some indoor entertainment. Right next to a plastic coaster sat the giant black television remote and a strip of leftover scotch tape. I flipped the heavy remote face down, popped open the back battery hatch with my heel, and swapped the two skinny batteries backwards so the flat ends pointed the wrong way! Snapping the plastic cover back on, I gave it a tap. Good luck changing the channel when nothing clicks, suckers! I had to smother my own cackle behind a mug.
