This reminds me of my ex father-in-law:
He got a new automatic garage door opener. He called his wife out to the garage and told her it works by "voice". Demonstrating a few times, he showed her.
"Open says-a-me" he would say, and the door would open. Then "close says-a-me" and the door would close. All the while, he was holding the remote control behind his back.
So he tells her to try it. She stands there saying "open says-a-me", and nothing happens. He says, "You have to speak up, louder". So, she trys again, louder, "Open-says-a-me". Nothing happens.
She kept it up, trying over and over, louder and louder. Standing in the middle of the driveway, screaming at the top of her lungs!
He finally pushed the button and the door opened. She looked like a total idiot, but, I have to say, my ex and I were having a hell of a time trying to keep a straight face!
