Should there be a comma before "my ass"?

It got me.

Sneaky.  Clever.  Simple.  Effective.


The universe momentarily killed the batteries in my remote.  I was forced to watch an entire episode of  The Electric Barbarellas.

Imagine if the Power Rangers were all female.  And tragic.  


It's not like I could change the channel.  The universal remote that goes to the tv only changes the box channel.  And the only way to have other watchable tv is to change the channel with the box.  


Muting wasn't an option either.  I don't have the original TV remote (also hateful universe).  


I was comfortable and the universe knew that by turning the batteries off (yes, turned them off, don't argue) that the only way to save myself was to get out and turn the TV manually.  


Thirty minutes later, the remote magically works.


Universal remote, my ass.  More like Universe's remote.  


Hell.

Universe: 1.  Me: 0.
