This, apparently, is an actual call into a Fargo, North Dakota radio station:
I weep for our planet.
And, just for the record, I leave myself open to the possibility that this was a joke. In fact, I hope it was.

She must have moved there from New York City.
I was driving across New Jersey one morning listening to the local news. Apparently, all the New Yorkers moving out in country kept complaining about people’s roosters crowing so early in the morning.
When I was stationed in DC in the early 2000s, a coworker bought a townhouse out in Frederick, MD. They’d had so much trouble with DC morons out there he actually had to sign a form acknowledging that it was a farm area and roosters crow, cows moo, tractors might be on the road, and the fragrance of nature might be pungent in the spring.

@JKB: Ha. I grew up in Upstate New York in a farming area and our major problem during the hunting season were the idiot would-be hunters from downstate who would shoot cows thinking they were deer….
This is my main reason for insisting on an IQ test before allowing anyone a rifle.

Nice to see someone keeping the flame alive.

Hang on – on further review, the play is overturned. Donna called back to the station later and admitted that in fact she did not understand the reason for the crossing signs. The original farce authored by Mr Abbott and his daughter seems a spoof, but Donna was a true ingenue.

@grumpy realist: This is my main reason for insisting on an IQ test before allowing anyone a rifle.
How about membership in… “A well regulated militia,..” (USCon. A II) that is organized, armed, disciplined and governed by the United States Congress and whose officers are appointed by the States and trained by the States “according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;..” (USCon. Art. 1 Sec. 8 [16]) and the Commander in Chief “of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States,..” shall be the President. (USCon. Art. II Sec. 2 [1])…
…before allowing anyone a rifle. -
