Sure we can!!

Sure we can.

Grrr and Bob wanted the new satellite TV for Bob's home and Grrr's cave.
Now the system was $1295 bucks and installation was 250 bucks so the guys figured, what the heck, we will do it and save that loot for coffee and root beer.
Grrr used his size control ring to grow to his full 65 feet and Bob stood on his shoulders and connected things. 
"Lets see pal, cables color coded connected and watertight?" Grrr asked
"Check" said Bob.
"Power supply in place?"
"Check"
"Grounding?"
"Check"
"OK pal, I think we got it." said Grrr as he returned to human size and Bob jumped off.
The two pals picking up can and cup on the way to the "Lair" Stef and Gretta insisted on calling it a "Den" but it was a LAIR. got comfortable in their favorite old chairs, pushed the button on the remote and ... and " The Shopping Channel" came on...
OK..so he tried again and "Dr. Oz" came on.
Bob reached over and said "Give me that!" he punched in the "Military Channel"...and "Cheaters" came on. Smacking the remote in his hand, he tried for the Science fiction channel.
"Big Brother" came on. 
"Buddy" asked Bob, "You did not program this?"

"Heck, no." Said Grrr
Grrr threw back his head and roared "Jr, get your tail in here."
When Jr came into the room, he said "What's up Pop?"
"Son, did you program this?"
"A..a..a.Pop..?" Jr said.
"Did you or Not?" said Grrr his eyes turning red.
"Pop..Mom, Miss Stef said to..they told me..I...fixed the sign and the remote..Mom and Miss Stef said"
"Sir, what sign did you "fix?" Bob asked in his teacher voice.
"Mr. Sir...I..the sign said "The Lair" they..Mom and Miss Stef said it should say "The Den." I..."
"Son." Grrr said, "It is right that you should try and help your mother and Miss Stef, you were a Gentlerex and that is a fine thing." Bob nodded in agreement. "But, learn now son there are limits. In this cave there is the ladies space, Your space, your sister's space, shared space and my  space. if I leave stuff laying about in the dining room..or the kitchen, what does you mother do?"
"Oh..she goes Jurassic pop..you know."
"Yes, said Grrr, "Well, son this is "my" space.  Please remember that and refer all questions about it to me. Got it?"
 "yes. Dad." Said a relived Jr.
 "Oh, and son?" "yeah Pop?"
 "Fix the sign."
