Come On And Take A Free Ride, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
One of the local radio stations, WIFC, has a Jeep Free Ride Giveaway going on. When listeners hear the song Free Ride playing, they need to call the station to qualify to win a one year lease of 2007 Jeep Compass and $1500 worth of gasoline from a local gas station. Basically they round up several qualifiers and have one big drawing to win the grand prize.
As I was driving to work yesterday morning, I heard the song and decided to call in. I thought it would be way cool to get an opportunity to win this ride. Imagine my surprise when I happened to be caller number nine. It went something like this:
DJ Dave Kalloway: WIFC, Hello!
Dorky Dana: Hi!
DJ Dave Kalloway: Whattya doin’?
Dorky Dana: Yenno, nothing really. Just on my way to work.
DJ Dave Kalloway: Well, we’re going to start your Monday off right. You have now qualified to win the Jeep Free Ride.
Dorky Dana: Well that sucks.
DJ Dave Kalloway: Why would that suck?
Dorky Dana: Wait, did you say I have qualified? Or have not qualified?
DJ Dave Kalloway: You have qualified!
Dorky Dana: Holy cats. For real? I swear I thought you said I have not!
DJ Dave Kalloway: You were in the right place at the right time.
Dorky Dana: I’m beyond stunned here.
Yeah. And they played that little exchange on the radio. I really did think he said I did not qualify. Ha ha ha. Seriously. Could I be any more dorky? But who cares! I could win a one year lease for this baby right here:
Can you imagine how nerdy I’ll be if I drive away in one of these? It will really suck to give it back at the end of a year.
And today is Marooned Without A Compass Day. Isn’t that a kalinky-dink (coincidence)?

See. This is what happens when I don’t listen to the radio anymore because I don’t like Avril Lavigne. I miss hearing you on the radio!
