Pumps' Perplexities

Well it is that time of the year again.....November TV "sweeps"....
In order to keep the TV ratings up, the NBC Today Show will
once again have Matt Lauer, its male morning anchor, travel
around the world.....

From Monday to Friday he will be in a different country and
standing in front of some world relic or forum reading his "cue"
cards and expounding on the local customs and geographical
beauty.....Do the "segment", shut off the camera, pack up the
gear, get on the plane, get off the plane, unpack the gear and
set up the camera for the next day......The public just loves
it......

Since Mr. Lauer is not an underpaid employee of NBC, he is
assigned this "world hopping" chore....It is nice to see his
smiling face and hear his cheerful voice when deep down
he hates every minute of it.....He wanted out years ago but
the rating are so high and his money so good....Well it is
just bon voyage Matt.......Pumps
