I got into the habit of listening to the late night radio phone in shows when I was about 13. It is a mini obsession of mine. Some people need to hear the ocean to fall asleep, some need white noise in the background. I have a friend who leaves the extractor turned on in his bathroom all night and the gentle humming rocks him to sleep. I need to listen to stupid cunts discussing all manner of subjects. I rarely enjoy it to be honest but every now and then you hear something that makes it all worthwhile, like just now.
There I am, lying in bed and the subject tonight is "what is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?". They were getting the usual crap from the spasmo public "Ooooh, I ate a frog once" or "Am I on air? I am? I once tasted Giraffe." All boring. Then this one guy comes on and tells how he was recently in Zambia and at this time of year they are inundated with millions and millions of crane flies. The locals catch them in huge nets, grind them up into a paste, and make burgers out of them.
Caller: "So, there I was in this restaurant and they served me this burger made out of this paste. It was a proper burger, they served it with tomato sauce and everything"
Host: "So you ate this burger made out of flies...A fly burger basically..."
Caller: "Yeah, it wasn't too bad to be honest, I've eaten worse."
Host: "Well, tomato sauce does mask a lot of flavours doesn't it?"
Caller: "Yeah, especially on your birds fanny"
Host: *embarrassed* "I'm really sorry for letting that one get through ladies and gentleman, you all have my apologies."
This made me chuckle at first, then more as I thought about it and in the end I was laughing so hard that I had to get out of bed to have another joint.
Finished my joint now so i'm back to bed.
