Isn’t the Light OK?

The local Air 1 Chris­t­ian radio affil­i­ate has been ask­ing for money lately.

Or maybe some­thing else.

Even some of the belea­guered auto mak­ers of Amer­ica, as hard-up for money as they are, have slashed prices on a decid­edly non-auto-related prod­uct this time of year.

You see, it appears that Amer­ica has for­got­ten how to enun­ci­ate. The log­i­cal mind knows that the Chris­t­ian radio announcer is ask­ing you to give a “Year End” gift, with a long “e” sound and hard “d” at the end of the phrase. But the ear doesn’t hear either one of these sig­ni­fiers. This mush­ing together of syl­la­bles makes it sound like they want us to pee in a cup and send it to the station.

For that mat­ter, maybe Ford’s hav­ing a clear­ance sale on clean bod­ily fluid sam­ples. Drug addicts have to pass their manda­tory tests some­how, right?

So, as 2008 draws to a close, please remem­ber to con­sult a yearol­o­gist, should you have trou­ble “con­tribut­ing.” Also, that indoor plumb­ing and its role in proper dis­posal of waste prod­ucts is the great­est “year end” gift of all.
