A funny thing I heard this week

#1 Post by nitrah55 » Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:18 pm

I have taken to listening to the podcast of "Says You." It's a word and trivia quiz show (played for laughs) heard on a few dozen NPR stations. I reccomend it, even though it has its flaws. (Home-grown Boston production, so it's no one you've heard of, unless you live near Boston; all male panelists sound alike; all female panelists sound alike).

Anyway, on this week's show, the host went on a tangent, recalling when he walked into a health and beauty aid store by mistake, and saw a customer holding a product called "Kiss My Face."

"You know," the host told the customer, "that company also makes a hemmorroid preparation."

I nearly drove off the road.

It's a good thing my students have already left the building. I'd hate to have to explain to them why I am laughing.
