Perhaps you are not as familiar with quantum physics as I am. Let me try to explain this in "Layman's terms" You see, the remote control actually upsets the "balance" of the gastronomic centrifugal incantation of the upper lining of the astronomical micro fibre" of life. By placing the remote in what seems a secure location is actually the most dangerous of all. It senses your weakness and will at its own accord "move". The sole reason of the remote control's very being is to cause disharmony amongst family members. Often a groan may be heard from the t.v room once the head of the house makes a "channel switch" of "Hey, I was watching that" , or "choose a program and stick to it". So in order for the TV remote to thrive it must cause a certain level of chaos, or unrest. Upon a period of inactivty, a TV remote will indeed become restless and seek refuge in a more unsettled environment. By ""Losing"" itself, it causes an unrest, thus making sure that it causes the disharmony so badly needed.
It pulls at the very thread of our moral existance. Yet without it, I have to walk to change channels,
so let us all hale OH LORD REMOTE!!!
