Sirens In Radio Commercials

I’m driving down the highway the other day while listening to the radio.  The traffic is pretty heavy, and I’m somewhat tense because I’m driving Ashley’s car, which I rarely drive, and I really am not on the highway that much anymore.  Suddenly I hear the sound of a siren blaring behind me.  Startled, I frantically look up at the rear view mirror while determining if I need to pull over or get out of the way.  Surprisingly there is no police car or fire truck or ambulance to be found, and a quick glance to the right and left confirms the same.

As my heart makes its way from my throat back down to where it normally hangs out, I realize that the siren had come from the radio.  There was some stupid commercial on about house alarms.  It’s bad enough that these vultures have called my house incessantly every time we’ve moved to a new place, now they have to scare the crap out of me while I’m driving too?

I’m adding sirens to the list of things I don’t think should be on the radio because they scare me.  They’re up there now along with 95% of what passes for R&B today, and Rush Limbaugh.
