My pal Norm was doing a promotion on his afternoon show on KOMO AM,
which is a 50KW clear channel station in Seattle.  He was giving away
$5,000, and he kept saying on the air live and in commercials:

"FIVE thousand dollars CASH!"

During this time, I cajoled him (it wasn't easy!) to make a tape for
my answering machine, which I still have.  It says:

"Oooooooo this may be YOUR LUCKY DAY!  You may have WON FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS CASH!!  Just leave your credit card number and expiration
date, and we'll get right back to ya!  THANKS for the call!"

Reading it doesn't do it justice.  You have to hear it.  Maybe someday
I can arrange to put it on for a weekend, just so Digest readers can
call and hear it!
