Yesterday on "Prairie Home Companion", the theme was current
jokes. Garrison Keillor told the following one, after which he issued
the disclaimer that it had been cleaned up for radio, so I re-edited it
to its original form:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Blow had just bought a new car stereo which was purported to
be capable of changing stations at voice command. The salesman told
him "just say what kind of music you want, she'll tune right in to a
station with that kind of music".
Joe was sailing along at a breezy 45, when he decided to invoke
the command, "Classical!". Sure enough, the radio tuned itself to a
longhair station and a Mozart concerto wafted through his car. He
thought, "wow, this thing really works!". "Rock and roll!", he then
said. Again, the radio selected a new station, and an old Zeppelin tune
commenced playing. By this time, thoroughly amazed, he selected
"Country and western!". George Strait promptly began singing in the
car.
Just as Joe Blow was about to make another selection, a truck came
tearing out of a side street in his path, causing him to jam on the
brakes and lock up all four wheels, swerving to the side and barely
missing the errant vehicle. He screamed, "ASSHOLE!"
After regaining his composure, he noticed that the radio had
changed to a station with Rush Limbaugh...
