The Brothers Quaid

I can't turn on my TV because NO ONE has any AAA batteries for my remote control.

Triple A batteries.  What a waste.  Why even make a brand of battery that isn't used for ANYTHING!  A question has never been answered "no" to more than, "hey, do you have any AAA batteries?" maybe with the exception of, "hey dude, wasn't Mama Mia an awesome movie?" but no one would ask such an absurd question, so it doesn't count.  I have no qualms with any of the other classes of batteries, just AAA.  

Double A, the go to man.  He is like the answer to every problem ever.  You get MacGyver stuck a room with two double A batteries, some ducktape, and a rabid wolverine (animal, not Logan) and nine times out of ten, Angus MacGyver will come out on top.  What does that mean, I don't know, but Double A batteries are the bomb.  9V batteries, the cornerstone of any childhood.  Who cant remember seeing how long they could hold a 9 volt to their tongue?  Listen, don't try to act like you've never done it, because you're a liar.  Car batteries, who doesn't love them?  Without them, how would have Busey gotten the information out of Gibson in Lethal Weapon 1 (both men on my crazies people list, probably making LW1 the craziest movie ever)?  Even the little annoying batteries that go into wrist watches, atleast they are cool shaped.  

The triple A battery is the Randy Quaid of batteries.  It only has one use (Christmas Vacation) and no matter how much good it does, people will always ask, "Isn't that Denis Quaid's brother?"

Now, I would go watch The Day After Tomorrow, but I cant find any fucking AAA batteries for my remote control.
