CARL KASELL'S GREETING FOR MY VOICE MAIL




As I announced on this blog in October, I was a contestant on the National Public Radio show, "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" I played "Bluff the Listener" and won! So I received the most coveted prize on public radio—Carl Kasell's voice on my home answering machine. You can hear the masterpiece he recorded for me on the YouTube video above (or simply click on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2NYvrtWwdk&feature=feedu)

Here's the transcript of the segment from the show. You can listen to it below.



I also got a shout-out from the Director of the American School of Laughter Yoga, Sebastien Gendry, who commended me in this post about how I pulled off a bit of guerilla marketing in this radio appearance.

YULE LAUGH

Brace yourself to take merry to a whole new level with Yule Laugh, the outrageously jolly Christmas album. Giggle along with the Fabulous Laughers and me, Laughing Laura, as we laugh the Christmas carols, played by the Luther College Jazz Quartet. It’s an instant party that will have you swingin’ and dancin’ all night. Expect your holiday cheer to reach new heights. Yule laugh, that’s for sure. Fa-la-la-la-la..ha ha ha ha!

This has got to be the merriest Christmas album on earth!

—Dr. Madan Kataria, Founder Laughter Yoga International
