The Games Would Be Shorter

A man is walking and carrying a ladder up over his head. He stops suddenly because the ladder is now, somehow, hooked over a tall light pole.

How did that ladder get over this light pole? I don't know, but I'm enjoying the ride.

Brutus is sitting in that green chair again as he watches TV. Wilberforce is standing next to him. "It seems like the final two minutes of basketball games last half an hour," Wilberforce complains. "That's because it's when the most important strategic moves that affect the outcome of the game take place," Brutus responds. "Then why don't they just start the game with two minutes to go?" Wilberforce says as Brutus looks back to the reader wondering if it's genetic or if Wilberforce really is stupid.
It's like with football. Those damn last five minutes.

How many TVs do the Thornapples have? Wilberforce looks like he's being held hostage watching basketball. If they have 2 TVs then maybe Gladys is watching something Wilberforce wants to watch even less. Like K-dramas.
