I almost crashed my car laughing at a radio parody of a preacher years ago, the DJ almost got fired. It was a fake "interview", and there was a discussion of improper donations from "ladies of the nght", and other "subjects" of ill repute. The punch line was repeated over and over:
"That makes me pound my pulpit!"

of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance?" ~ Professor "Dick" Soloman
Good Stuff! Back when FM broadcast radio was actually entertaining, not this homogenized, over processed drivel that they try to pass off as professional broadcasting.Originally Posted by WØTKX
But, what do you expect when Clear Channel and only three or four other companies own the whole broadcasting area. I can think of four stations that all sound the same. Sure they might be different music genres, oldies, classic rock, rock, and country. But the format is the same, all the DJs have the same schticks and gimmicks, hell, they even tell the same damn jokes. It's as if there is a corporate standardized operating procedures. "You will make a stupid comment along these lines to make light of the news, current pop celebrity, etc...." Why, you might ask? "Because we have done in depth research and determined that 51.634% of the market audience finds this funny. Therefore, this is the company approved way for doing your broadcast segment. Follow it or you're fired. Have a nice day."
Ok, rant off, back on topic.
One day the Kingdom of Fah found its self at war with a neighboring country. The King was on the verge of making a tactical blunder when one of his generals pointed it out and asked him, "Are you out of your Fah King mind?"
I used to record these segments for later amusement, but I seem to have lost that box of cassettes.
W0TKX, what the heck is your avater? It looks like a dude with a carrot for a head leaping out of a petri dish.
