Radio Jingle: (Booming Voice) It’s the DJ Bob Show on Durable FM. With music so good it’ll blow your cobwebs away! It’s Competition Hour!
DJ Bob: Here’s today’s competition for you with a whole selection of cleaning products up for grabs! We want you to phone in and tell us what or where in the house are the dirtiest, most germ ridden places. I’ll give you a clue; the answers are not as obvious as you may think. So, get dialling, we want to hear from you! In the meantime here’s a track from “The Germs!”
DJ Bob: Okay we have our first caller on the line, what’s your answer caller one?
Caller One: Hi Bob! I reckon it’s got to be the toilet seat hasn’t it? Oh and can I say hello to all my friends and family please?
DJ Bob: You just did caller one! Ewww! Gross answer but yeah that’s a pretty germ ridden place but not really one of the answers we’re looking for. Believe it or not, there are dirty places that you come into contact with every day that are worse than the toilet seat. I’m getting the heebie-geebies just looking at the answer card! Caller two, you’re live on air, what’s your answer?
Caller Two: I am gonna say the TV remote control, Bob. Ours is so grimy I put gloves on before I switch channels!
DJ Bob: Oh caller two! That’s really gross but another great answer. It’s certainly in the list I have but not the one that’s going to win the prize, sorry and thanks for calling. Over to you caller three, what have you got for us?
Caller Three: How about one of the things we really take for granted Bob? The money in our pockets…just think about the amount of times it changes hands and where all those hands might have been! I use credit card only now Bob!
DJ Bob: Hahaha! I never even thought about that one! I certainly won’t be jangling the change in my pocket anymore! That answer is almost worth a prize but I’ve to go with what’s on the card. (Still chuckling) A quick recap of the answers so far: We’ve had toilet seat, remote control and money, what else might there be? Remember we are looking for something we might interact with every day that is literally covered in germs and bacteria.
Caller Four: Great show tonight Bob, lovin the track list! Errrrm, I am going to say mobile phone Bob. Have you ever looked at the touch screen after a call? It’s pretty horrible and greasy!
DJ Bob: That’s a great answer caller four! It’s very high on my list here. Yeah, mobile phones, who would’ve thought they would be such a haven for bacteria and bugs? There can be literally tens of thousands of germs on the surface of your phone at any one time. We are often glued to our mobiles more than anything else, texting, browsing the web, checking facebook and tweeting and that’s before we even hold the phone next to our ear for calls!
You really should be cleaning your mobile phones thoroughly with a good telephone cleaner! Caller 5 you’re live on Durable FM.
Caller Five: (A thud and a crash is heard followed by the inevitable disconnection tone)
DJ Bob: Well, it’s looks as though our last caller has taken the last answer seriously and is probably frantically cleaning the phone as I speak! Perhaps that’s something we should all take on board? How about some music before the next caller? Here’s “Mr Telephone Man” by New Edition.
