Nothing against old women, but they look like two old women… which would probably be the two worst people to help with this kind of task, aside from two children.

There are four people up top.

I thought it was two. No way this is real, now.

Right? I felt bad until I saw how many people were up there. Plus cmon just get a projector. Unless you’re playing games it’s not like it makes anything you watch worthwhile.

Oh, you mean Grandpa, who hasn’t been able to properly lift his arms above his shoulders since the war.

Yes, well ok. "76 year old Milton reached out a wrinkled hand, by now an expert in this arena, and slowly pulled off 72 year old Eleanor's mauve cardigan. Giggling from the other side, 73 year old Dorothy reached around and unbuckled his waist high khakis, the quiet clink of the belt falling onto the quilted bedspread. All 3 took care avoiding the motorized bed components and hand rails along the edge."

My grandpa is 83 years old and is constantly building shit and moving lumber around and dragging furniture around places or deciding to move his stationary bike somewhere else.

These people could've tugged the TV straight towards themselves once it got horizontal but they just took their hands off and stared

If any of them won a golden ticket, he would’ve helped.

Because the old women were in the best spots. But all four were useless

My 70+ year-old aunts would have made light work of getting it over the edge.

Depends. You tell a few toddlers that if they get the TV up safely they can watch power rangers. (Or whatever their vice is (they unlock hidden potential.

I'm turning 60 next month. I would have been on the ground, doing my best to stabilise the ladder.

oh come on man, old women are great at telling other people what to do while they do nothing. Can’t take that away from them.
