When you ask a “man on the street” question in talk radio, you get turned down quite a bit.
Some people get stage fright, some say they don’t know enough about the topic at hand, and others think we’re a television and tell me their hair doesn’t look right.
But this morning took the cake in the contest for weirdest excuse I’ve ever heard.
I approached a man walking in the Power and Light District and asked if I could get his reaction to a recent crime that had taken place in the area.
His response?
“I’d better not. I’m not wearing any underwear.”
I’ll let you ponder that one for awhile.

Oh! I’m going to use that one! “Would you like to save 10% by applying for our credit card?” “I better not. I’m not wearing underwear.”
“Would you like to try our perfume sample?”
“I better not. I’m not wearing underwear.”
“Would you like fries with that?”
“I better not. I’m not wearing underwear.”
The reactions will be priceless.

Ok..so maybe he thought you were tv (forget the fact that you probably didn’t have any tv cameras around you whatsoever). Now…following that line of thinking, that means that he wasn’t cofortable being on “tv” where the typical “man on the street” shot is from the shoulders up but he WAS comfortable walking around the usually heavily populated P & L District sans undies. Now…that makes one wonder if…..oh dear…I’ve gone cross-eyed!
