some lenten irony

maundy thursday. the radio at our next door neighbor's house was on full volume at 7 o'clock in the morning. normally, this makes me cranky, especially if they start blasting the whole neighborhood with those overplayed tunes by westlife, or worse, michael learns to rock. i was still kinda' groggy, and the station they were tuned to was playing some old music, so i was pretty nonchalant about it. the season being lent, the station then tried to be pious by broadcasting some "words of wisdom". a deep, breathy voice then came out and said, "you shouldn't praise yourself too much, but your praise should come from the lips of others", or something to that effect. then it went, "this message is brought to you by xyz fm, your number one! all hits! super station!". right.
