Shatner Week: Today's quote

"When I got into my car to drive home I turned the radio to a local music station. Suddenly I heard the male host say to his female co-host, "We've got William Shatner's new record here." They're going to play my record on the radio. This was thrilling; within hours I'd sung on the Tonight Show and I was about to hear my record being played on the radio for the very first time!

"Yeah," the female host responded. "What an a**hole."
"You're right," the male host said. "He really is an a**hole."
Here's what I did NOT think: I've got the title for my next album. Instead I got on my cell phone and called them. "This is William Shater," I said. "And I am not an a**hole!" Finally I asked them, "Listen, would an a**hole call a radio station to complain that he is not an a**hole?" I stumped them with that one.

We spoke for about five minutes and then hung up. The female asked, "Was that really Shatner?"

And her partner responded, "Yeah, it was. And he's still an a**hole."

Well that started a whole discussion. People kept calling the station to state their opinions. "I don't think he is an a**hole." "Well sometimes he can be an a**hole." "It depends on your definition of the word 'a**hole'". For the entire segment the topic of conversation was, is William Shatner an a**hole?"

(The ** are mine, by the way. And I have taken tips from the above for my next Any Answers...)
