WORD OF THE DAY
Propitiate • \pro-PISH-ee-yate\ • verb - To gain or regain
the favor or goodwill of: appease, conciliate
The famous “turkey drop” from ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ was no
match for the “Ferret Drop” promotion of KFER radio one bleak, wintry December day.
The promotion, meant to propitiate listeners who had been stiffed by the
limited edition “ball of sisal twine” give-away, went horribly wrong when the
helicopter pilot misread his instructions and hovered 1,000 feet above the mall
parking lot (instead of the ten feet as directed in the crumpled and smudged
instruction sheet.) Fortunately for the apparently ill-fated weasels, their
leader fashioned a makeshift parachute from a discarded mascot costume…which
delivered the lucky ferrets into a briar patch from which the fabled “Ferret
Foundation” grew.
