I work with someone who can only be described as a ‘colorful character’. She swears like a drunken sailor and speaks her mind without being hindered by social filters. If you really <\/em>want to know how your hair looks, just ask her. \ud83d\ude09 She is a pure spirit, I wish more folks were as refreshingly open and honest as she.<\/p>\n

She has a long history of working at radio stations, including a large group of stations based in Boston, that required her to travel to the other stations. She is a Boston girl, through and through, with an accent and manner to match. When she visited a station ‘down south’ they were so enamoured with her Yankee persona they just had <\/em>to get her on tape. She offered to record a joke for them to play on the station. Unknown to her, they had a record delay in the headphone line so that what she heard was several seconds behind what she was saying.<\/p>\n

That threw her off a bit. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Good thing they had her on delay — all the ‘pfffssst’ sounds you hear on the recording are covers for what she really said.<\/p>\n

This bit rapidly became the most popular track on the station. For months following the original broadcast the station received calls to play the ‘Yankee on Delay’ piece. I nearly wet myself the first time I heard it. This is without exception, the funniest thing I have ever heard on the radio. I’ve now heard it dozens of times and I still bust out laughing.<\/p>\n

If you’d like a good belly laugh, call 617-861-6017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just be sure to keep your canister of O2<\/sup> handy, you will <\/em>have trouble breathing.<\/p>\n
