My first Press Junkett

#1 Post by frogman042 » Sun Sep 28, 2008 5:45 pm

I got an email late last night from the local affiliate that airs Millionaire asking if I could be available for an interview on Monday and this afternoon they called to confirm. They would like me in the studio at around 5:40 AM for an interview at around 5:50 AM during their morning news broadcast and then hang out for a second interview to occur sometime in the 6 AM hour. They also mentioned that the Radio City Rockettes will be in the studio during the 6 - 7 AM hour.

A tad early in the day but I'm not complaining. One question though, any thoughts on how I should deal with the anticipated paparizzi problem that I'm sure I will be plagued with giving the exposure I'm about to undergo?

But you didn't specify clean underwear!

Just in case those paparazzi cause an accident...

Back in the day I used to be a member of our local volunteer ambulance corps and I remember the popular admonishment that you should wear clean underwear, because you never know, you might get into an accident.

I'm about to break the code of silence of all emergency personell - the cleanliness of a patients underwear is our prime assesment. All those codes we call into the hosipital, that is just to alert them of the patients underwear status - from pristine to old, torn and dirty. This controls the way you will be triage, order of treatment and even type of treatment.

So if you are in a car wreck, have multiple fractures and severe lacerations, if you have clean underwear - all will be fine.

I'm going to have to ask my future son in law if they follow this same rule.

I've been preaching the clean underwear thing to my kids their entire life.

That's the excuse used by all the dirty-underwear-wearing car wreck victims. The Emergency Services personnel don't buy that story!

Yup. They take those stains to the lab for carbon-dating. They can tell the fresh from the set-in ones...

Note that clean underwear is not required for viewing - regarding my status in this department during the interview - no comment.
