Easy big guy, C.B.s flash '84 laser doesn't pick up FM (or any other M for that matter) too good out in the sticks and I was driving back from dropping of Older Son in Dunners (Going to do a degree in Lego) when I cranked on the wireless and heard whoever talking to Danny.

Wiseacre - there's a word a don't hear every day usage, must be something the old timers used to say... :spudwhat:
