I saw my optometrist today (a good thing to be able to do) and overheard a conversation between the receptionists there. The radio was playing the annoying tone that signals a test of the Emergency Broadcasting System, and one receptionist asked the other whether she had ever heard the system actually used to report an emergency. The other replied that yes, just once, she had. One day when she was little, the tone sounded and the system was used to report that a tornado was touching down in the area–when suddenly, the tornado report was itself interrupted with the announcement that Elvis had died.
Welcome to America. Not too surprising that she remembers where she was at that moment, is it?
