They really are.<br />Radio without FUCKING FUN is ridiculous. It's like death warmed over, a walking fucking coma. <br />Fun is the lifeblood of all thinking people.<br />Fun is when you trust people not to be jackasses.<br />Truth be told, my current boss has, on occasion, been a jackass.<br />But, so have I. <br />He has also put up with an awful lot from me, including when I might have burned the other building down by leaving a candle lit. I came in the next day and wax was all over the console. The phone rang. It was the boss "can you come in here" ....<br /><br />Well, the world didn't end. <br />Ruth was a fun boss despite her screaming. The woman who came after her was not.
