First Spoken Line After Theme Ends

There we are, there we are, just be calm. . .

Show Description

A show full of commercials, Shep rambles along playing the Jews Harp to Yakety Sax, telling about someone who mugged a Moog synthesizer at a rock concert, and talking about the devil in the cockpit of mankind. He claims he has the temptation to tell a dirty joke and several times during the show begins to tell it and then sidetracks away from it. The third attempt is aborted as the theme comes to an end, "We're out of time"

  The first known mugging of a computer! This momentous news is preceded by a jew's harp performance to a record of, "Yakety Sax." Shep starts to tell a dirty joke (not completed, of course) about three monks and a dachshound in an Irish bar.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
