Also Overheard on Christian Radio

My friend Jer listed a few several weeks ago on his blog. Here's a couple more I couldn't resist putting up!

I heard the first one yesterday while fixing dinner:

"The phone lines are open - please call now with your pledge! Listen, folks: Satan doesn't want this radio station to exist. He doesn't want us to even be here. In fact, Satan wants us to . . . . not . . . be here."


This one dates all the way back to Valentine's Day, but I laughed so hard I still remember every word:

"OK, our lucky caller number 5 will receive this silk rose and a wonderful book on romancing your wife. Caller number 5 . . . "

Music plays for about 4 minutes

"Alright, men, you still have a chance to win this great prize. Pick up the phone now and dial ________"

Music plays for 4 more minutes

"We're still waiting for that fifth caller . . . . caller number 5 . . . "

Proof positive that romance is dead? mm

(danny excluded, of course!)

Maybe there were no husbands that wanted to admit to their wife that they hadn't personally bought the flower for her, but won it on the radio? :) Perhaps they were all rushing out to buy some roses themselves???

OR could it possibly have been:

1. the cheesiness of the gift
2. evidence that very few men tuned in to that station
3. instead of calling in for the rose, people were calling in to tell the dj to please blow his nose . . . ???
