(GK: Garrison Keillor; SS: Sue Scott; TR: Tim Russell; FN: Fred Newman)

GK:--after a word from Fritz Electronics.

TR: You've got your boom box that plays CDs, MP3s, DVDs, and GPCs. (SFX) You've got your Palm Pilot that plays all of those plus music videos and lets you do e-mail. (SFX) You've got your Auto Pilot that does the same in your car. And your Wilderness Internet Explorer that keeps you in touch even when you're hundreds of miles from civilization. (SHORT WAVE BAND) But what about in your shower ---- are you completely out of touch for ten, fifteen minutes a day? Not when you have the Fritz MC 1600 Audio Showerhead FM Tuner, MP3 player, and cellphone ----- the head adjusts to fine mist (SFX), waterfall (SFX), regular spray (SFX), and needle spray that leaves marks (SFX) ---- while you keep up with your current playlist (SFX) and talk with friends ----

SS (ON PHONE): Hello?

TR: Hi. It's me. I'm in the shower.

SS (ON PHONE): Oh.

TR: Just thought I'd give a call.

SS (ON PHONE): Great.

TR: What are you doing?

SS (ON PHONE): I'm climbing a mountain.

TR: Wow.

SS (ON PHONE): So how's the shower?

TR: Great.

SS (ON PHONE): Great. Well, thanks for the call. Nice to hear from you.

TR: Great. You take care.

SS (ON PHONE): You too.

GK: Live every moment of your life more fully with a Fritz Audio Showerhead. Everything you need is on the Fritz. (SFX)
