Radio Theatre Will Fix The Economy and Save Us From Communists

I had a strange conversation tonight with an older gentleman. It started off mostly normal. He mentioned that he missed Radio Theatre. I figured he was talking about something they used to to in the old days. Maybe folks came out and watched people make radio broadcasts… like Garrison Keeler with the whole Prairie Home Companion thing. He talked about how much fun it was and how he wishes you could still see them today… then he started talking about how much money could be made if he and I would start one up… or something like that.

“If I were to go into business, again, I would start a Radio Theatre. You wouldn’t have to worry about the economy… because Radio would put people back to work.”

“The Government could make a group that would tell people if they could read books well or if they were crap. Then all of them could get jobs reading different books.”

“Did you know that there is a radio company out there that uses computers to have a book read by any person… even if they’re dead? Some big shot Radio guy said that they had to stop doing that because of copyrights, but they said, ‘NO! We’re a private company.’ and he let them be.”

“That’s what I love about America. You can have an idea, put it to work and get rich! We don’t have a King who says, ‘You have to give your money to me’. But the Communists…”

“I had one of those Communists come up to me once and said, ‘When do you plan to join the Communist Army?’ and I told him, ‘I don’t plan to join at all!’ and he said, ‘Do you know what we can do to your children?’ and I said, ‘Nothing! I don’t have any!!’’ and I gave him some advice.”

“If you threaten a man with children, you will make a good man angry. And rightly so.”

And about that time someone came up and said I was needed elsewhere. I didn’t realize that they were saving me. I was totally ready to get started on that Radio Theatre in order to combat the Red Army!!
