Making the GM’s phone ring
Occasionally I’ll say something that incites a negative reaction. It doesn’t happen often. In maturity, I’ve learned how to say what needs to be said and not make the GM’s phone ring. But, before the maturity - with wreckless abandon - often I’d spout things people found offensive. This one made the GM’s phone ring. Seemed pretty tame. But enter the concerns of famine & children - and voila - tasteless joke. This was about the time Bob Geldof was suggesting we "Feed the World." I heard the joke earlier that day. It was a thinking mans joke. I laughed for 30 minutes. Surely everyone would enjoy this little jewel. The punchline is subtle - my kind of joke. I cracked the mic with: "What’s the fastest animal on the planet? An Ethopian Chicken!!" HAHAHAHA - thud. I was on air within 30 minutes expressing my apologies for being so insensitive. I haven’t done any starvation bits since.
