Quick on the trigger/Easily amused

[Deleted]

I’m not sure if the following fits better into the category of “Quick on the Trigger” or “I’m Easily Amused”. Judge for yourself.

You have to be quick on the trigger if you’re controlling a broadcast, be it radio or television.

For example, this morning while watching CBS Sunday Morning, one article had just finished, so it was time for the advertisements. If you want to run a local advertisement, you have to quickly pull the trigger so the network’s national advertisement doesn’t get broadcast. It’s not like the network is going to broadcast dead air while you do your local thing, eh?

Somebody this morning wasn’t quite quick enough, and I found the result amusing. The national ad had something to do with bipolar disorder. When you see the word, “switch”, in the sentence below, that’s when the local person switched from the national ad to the local ad.

“Bipolar disorder is a mental disease that causes [switch] affordable dentures.”

Yuk, yuk, yuk.

heh

I find amusement of similar sort when switching radio stations. Once a long long time ago when on a road trip with the family, Dad was switching radio stations in search of something other than talk or commercials. The entire family erupted in laughter when we got "Effingers sports has (switch) original (switch) farts!

I love those. I get those 'WTF?' moments all the time when I'm sitting at the computer and hubby is flipping through TV channels. It's even more interesting when I'm actually listening to his programs and don't know that he changed the channel during the commercial break. The documentary on religions of the world has now switched to methods of martial arts fighting. Or the explanation on how forensics can tell the race of a victim by the shape of the skull is now discussing sexual dysfunctions.

Sounds like hubby has some kinda weird fetish

Although police radio seldom has "switches" it sometimes is pretty entertaining.

I heard a car get out with a, "427, in the rear."

(427 is code for sex crime and I think he meant in the rear of a building.)

It was even more entertaining before the "Piker" radios came out. At 0300 one morning a long, and seemingly juicy, fart was broadcast over main channel. Not missing a beat, the dispatcher replied, "Unit getting in from the Krystal, go ahead..."

In the pre-Garner days, a long car chase ended in a crash and the suspect jumping and running across a field. In the country, addresses are rare and fields are seldom marked.

Much screaming went on until an officer yelled, "Shots fired!, shots fired! Suspect down!"

"Where?, where?" inquired the dispatcher.

"In the ass, dispatcher, in the ass."

When was JoeDog a cop?

Oh wait, he gets gas driving BY Krystal.... And lets not get started on Taco Bell. There are REASONS why his family rides with the windows down in the wintertime.

I use the same radios at work. Sometimes there is a glitch in the system and we get a police call.
I wounder if they get the same on their end,

The other Bob, Eubanks. From the Newlywed Game

[ScarlettP]

LOL! We're showing our age Grid. You for telling that joke, and me for knowing it.

Once upon a time, on the Newlywed game, the question was "Where is the strangest place you ever made Whoopie?" A woman answered "In the butt, Bob."

Ooops.

I saw that on one of those "funniest tv show moments" specials.
