I wonder if Chaz could apply for a $40 coupon to help w his changeover?

btw, my household still uses broadcast TV -- and we have old sets -- so I did actually get those coupons and use them to buy the boxes.  Now I have clearer signals and about twice as many tv station, literally!  I hear this cable TV thing might be a good thing to check out, too, but I don't want to rush this new technology stuff too much.

in Chaz's case, she/he is *losing* a box rather than looking for a new one. ;)

I have cable hooked up without a box. Before the switchover, channels 2, 4 and 5 were fuzzy and have the "ghost" look. Now all three channels are clear. Channel 7 is fuzzy though for some reason.

You guys!  This is an inspired sketch waiting to happen.

Chaz: I'm here for my coupon for my transition.

Frazzled worker: Sure, we'll be happy to help you with the TV.

Chaz: I'm not a TV, I'm an FTM!

Frazzled worker: These coupons are only for TVs ...

Chaz: THAT'S DISCRIMINATION

Haha, here we go. The sketch goes something like this:

Cher: I hear I can get a coupon from you for my child Chaz's transition.

Frazzled worker: Sure.  What kind of set does Chaz currently have?

Cher: Two breasts, no drumstick.  I don't know what was the problem, they were good enough for me ... (Worker squints with confusion.)  And is lesbian bed death that bad when at least you've got a 50-inch television to watch instead?

Frazzled and now puzzled worker: Oh, Chaz wouldn't be eligible, then.  These coupons are only for old TVs.

Cher: Oh, I know the jargon, and you make me SICK.  Old TVs?  And not young lesbian FTMs?  How can you discriminate like that, you ageist, sexist jackass?

Frazzled worker: I can offer YOU a coupon!

(Cher assaults pleased-with-himself worker.)
