This joke gets funnier the older it is
i've had a script in need of rewrite for like 5 years
i just keep duct taping and tweaking every time another thing breaks

it's literally titled "temporary script until i fix the real one, 2018"
how it be sometimes
There's a particular Midwestern thing of putting a working TV directly in front of the broken TV
Comment out the broken clock 😭
