Who says commuting isn't fun?

coffeesnob318I'm not usually in favor of morning shows on the radio - I usually don't like being around people who speak before 10 a.m. *reflects, thinking that perhaps teaching a 7 a.m. speech class was not the best choice* But I heard something today on the radio that defies my natural tendency and had a nice little laugh.
One of the morning show guys went to a very...exclusive...golf course (yes. Exactly what you're thinking. One of those places.). He stood behind the tee box and blew an airhorn (albeit a very weak one) right as people were trying to tee off (I know it doesn't sound funny yet, but hang on).
Of course, the manager pulls up, in record time, in a golf cart, and asks if he can help the guy. The guy explains that he's waiting on his friend that he met online, but who will know who he is by the sound of his airhorn. He then introduces himself as Airhorn Man. The manager offers to escort him to the gate, so Airhorn Man gets into the cart.
(during the whole spiel, he is linked to the people in the studio who are laughing and commenting, feeding him lines, etc.)
The manager again asks who he is, and he replies, "Who am I? I'm Airhorn Man - Keeper of the Horn, Blower of the Air! Who are you?" You know, just friendly conversation. Then the manager apparently confiscates his airhorn, because he keeps using the sad little thing, and he says, "Unhand my horn!"
I think that's my new catch phrase. Unhand my horn. It works on so many levels.
Anyway, upon reading this entry, it may not seem as funny as it actually was. Probably one of those "Had to hear it yourself" things. But trust me - that's just good radio.
Oh, and...

Hey, "Unhand my..." anything is pretty much comedy gold.
"Unhand my coffee!" Ooh, this is fun!

I seriously love that phrase. Thanks for posting it, because I will have hours of amusement from it. Egad, it doesn't take much with me, does it? But I adore a quirky turn of phrase...
