It turned out to be a Canadian magazine show about a woman learning how to play hockey, eh.

Then a non-sports non-event: a entertainment magazine show with fast-paced clips of the doings of movie and TV stars. ?:)

A programmer puts two glasses beside his bed before going to sleep: one with water and one empty.
When his wife inquires as to why, he replies: "The one with water is there in case I wake up at night thirsty."
"How about the other one?", asks the wife, still not getting the point.
"That's in case I wake up at night not feeling thirsty."
