I bought a new Chevy Avalanche
but returned to the dealer yesterday because I couldn't get the radio to work.
The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.

'Nelson,'
the salesman said to the radio.
The radio replied,
'Ricky or Willie?'

'Willie!' I replied.

'On The Road Again ' roared through the speakers.

Then I said,
'Ray Charles!'
And I heard ' Georgia On My Mind' unwind.

Then, when I said, "Beethoven,
I got one of his nine fine symphonies.
Then I said, 'Beatles,' and got "Let It Be."
Then yesterday, someone ran a red light and nearly smashed my new truck,
but I swerved, avoided a collision, and cried out, 'Asshole!'

And the radio immediately announced,
"We interrupt this broadcast with a word from the Governor of Wisconsin."
