Mike du Jour by Mike Lester for August 18, 2022

I still have mine. I bought it in ‘69, it’s the size of a cigarette pack.

And THAT’S NO BULL!

Ethel Oxymoron: Hello. I’m Ethel Oxymoron.

Fred Oxymoron: And I’m Fred Oxymoron.

Ethel Oxymoron: And you’re listening to..

Together: “The Delicious Lush”, on National Public Radio.

Ethel Oxymoron: Now, Fred, the days are getting longer, and the mercury is rising.

Fred Oxymoron: It sure is, Margaret Jo. And that cna only mean one thing.

Together: Summer.

Ethel Oxymoron: Now.. one of my favorite things about summer is that you can have your meals outside.

Fred Oxymoron: That is neat.

Ethel Oxymoron: Yeah. It’s fun. It’s warm. It’s warm outside.

Fred Oxymoron: Yeah. Summer’s my favorite season.

Ethel Oxymoron: Same here. Because it’s hotter than the rest of the year.

Fred Oxymoron: It sure is.

Ethel Oxymoron: It’s fun, isn’t it?

Fred Oxymoron: It’s neat.

Ethel Oxymoron: Fun.

Fred Oxymoron: Good times. Now, we have some exciting ideas on how to keep cool during these summer months.

Ethel Oxymoron: That’s right, Teri. One of my favoritesummer treats is a nice tall glass of soda water.

Fred Oxymoron: Mmm.. me, too. Sometimes, to keep things interesting, I like to add a little bit of ice.

Ethel Oxymoron: Thanks for bringing that up.

Fred Oxymoron: You’re welcome.

Ethel Oxymoron: I see your point.

Fred Oxymoron: Thank you. And, actually, I don’t know if you noticed, there are many different kinds of ice.

Ethel Oxymoron: You’re absolutely right. There’s cubed ice.

Fred Oxymoron: Crushed ice.

Ethel Oxymoron: Cracked ice.

Fred Oxymoron: Shaved ice.

Ethel Oxymoron: Shaved ice? I didn’t know ice could growa beard!

[ they laugh ]

Fred Oxymoron: That’s funny! Did you just think of that right now?

Ethel Oxymoron: No, I thought of it last night and wrote it down.

Fred Oxymoron: You’re very funny.

Ethel Oxymoron: Thanks.

Fred Oxymoron: You’re so fun to be around.

Ethel Oxymoron: Thanks, so are you. It’s fun being with you.

I don’t know which is stranger… the strip or the comments.

That beer’s gotta be warm by now. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I was so excited when I got my first transistor radio in the 50s. I think it only had am stations on it.
