Okay, is it over? (after Koroni "dyak curse" music)
Show Description
The thinking kid's Soupy Sales Warning for a scientific experiment and playing of Dyak Curse. All through the show Shep takes calls from listeners to 'study' the effects of the the curse that has just been played over the air. It was a recording of a Dyak Male curse of Borneo Dyak natives. Causes instant death or lifelong curse against makes. Does not affect women. Send a postcard to "Curses" care of this radio station for the antidote. Comedy of mankind parade: - Dear Abbey mother worried about her sailor son being so far away. - Elephant that sits on red cars - The giant squid and love in the ocean depths - Anxiety and the female psyche - The seven deadly crimes you commit against yourself
