Methinks I'm going to fail...

So finishing up on our weekly 'family' Sunday night dinner, one of the guys mentions something about tv. Conversation goes on for a while... then someone says, "yeah, I wonder if the guy downstairs has got cable?". (See, he's never around, and we've all been dying to watch our various shows (fresh prince, seinfeld, tng, etc.)). So the light bulbs all go off and we run downstairs and check it out. Lo and behold, he's got cable, and like the good kind (all three tiers, FoodTV and SpeedVision - SAFE!). Anyway, that's all well and good, but of course we can't be watching tv in his place... invasion of privacy and all that stuff. But off go more lightbulbs... "what if we just split the connection? He won't even know the difference...". So first we check all the outlets on our side, and one of them is already hooked up. So we now have cable, and thus, we're all going to fail.
