That is funny. Years ago (at a retirement community), the boss suggested I
tell everyone my antennas were for television. Sure enough, two days after
the largest antenna went up (18 foot wide and 20 foot boom), a female
neighbor asked about it. When I told her it was for television, she looked
at it, paused for several seconds (obviously thinking), and seriously said I
must get really great reception. I almost died laughing (as did the boss
when I told him about it). That was my most humorious antenna situation.
