	I understand, from some older relatives, that a Boston or
Rhode Island area radio station, or perhaps a small radio network
including said area, before the days of TV, advertised that they did
not carry soap operas. They stuck mostly to news and humor. So every
couple of hours, they would tell something that sounded like a shaggy
dog story, and the punch line would be... No soap, Radio. They were
known for being pretty weird, and nonsensical.
