A Smart Radio

The Martin Chronicles staff has really been enjoying all of the folksy humor that's been making the rounds in  malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills recently. We know, the stories aren't new. But they sure are funny when they're customized to the current sorry state in that troubled town.

We heard this one yesterday.

A Villa Hills resident was very pleased with the new sound system he had installed in his car. Not only was the sound incredible, it was much safer. Why? Because all he now had to do was tell the radio the genre of music he wanted and the radio would find it for him.

He was showing off his new radio to a friend as they were traveling to Reds game recently. First he said, "Radio, country music" and a Keith Urban song began to play. Then he said, "Radio, classic rock" and The Rolling Stone's "Jumpin' Jack Flash" blasted from the speakers.

Finally, the two decided they wanted to get ready for the game so the driver said, "Radio, Reds' pre-game" and they were greeted to Marty's interview of Bryan Price. They settled in for the rest of the trip.

Suddenly, a car full of partiers ran a red light and careened in to the intersection. The wild driver nearly t-boned the Villa Hills resident and his friend. Quick thinking and good driving prevented a disaster.

The Villa Hills resident looked at his friend and said, "crazy assholes". The radio immediately began to play  a cover of the old Bee Gee's song "Jive Talkin'" being performed by Mike Martin, Toad V. McMurtry and Craig T. Bohman.

The resident could only say, "That certainly makes sense".
