My husband woke up this morning and instantly began laughing so hard that he had tears in his eyes. I was like "What on earth?" Once he had calmed down enough, he told me that he had a dream where he had to pitch to some TV executives the idea of a new police/detective procedural with a twist. The show would center around a particular cop with the nickname "The Tuner". First half of the show is tracking down the bad guy. Next half is the interrogation. The Tuner is a great cop, but where he really shines is in the interrogation room. His method? He pulls out a guitar and starts to tune it, asking the perp "Does this sound right?" whilst continuously making sure that it never sounds right and is always slightly off tune. He does this untill the perp cant stand it anymore, cracks and confesses to the crime. Once my husband told me this I also started laughing and the idea of it has been making me burst out in fits of giggles all morning. #dreams #marriage #funny

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk Depending how the interrogation scenes are made, this could really torment the audience, too... But I'd - ahem - *tune* in to see it.

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk The challenge of producing this show would be showing enough of the bad tuning to make the premise believable without actually driving the audience insane.

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk hahahaha this is such a great dream 😂😂😂 A few months ago I had a dream that me and a friend started a comedy salsa band called "Ogretta", and made a music video where I danced with Shrek and he danced with Fiona until they ditched us and found each other and adopted a chihuahua

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk should consider pitching the idea to #Netflix? Can't guarantee a second season though 😂

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk Damned if it's not a bad concept for a show too. With a bit of work it could actually work I reckon.

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk the few occasion where he comes across a suspect who won't crack, he asks The Rookie for help. The Rookie is actually a burnt-out and retired cop, who, in his old age, starts learning instruments, and brings whichever one he currently started learning to the precinct. he promised The Tuner to never practise the violine at home. 😅

@leeleedee@mstdn.dk One of the #Diskworld novels by #TerryPratchett features a clock in Vetinari's waiting room. It has been specially built to have an irregular tick in order to drive the waiting petitioners slightly insane.
