My friend here says that radio is the perfect medium for jokes. So here's one. What's big but sounds like a mouse? The answer is a house.

You are listening to KMVS. Music and interesting speech throughout the day. Please don't return that cat's whisker!

You are hearing the broadcasts of KMVS. Well done.

Wederom wat dj-gebabbel. Ik neem aan dat cat's whisker een of andere woorspeling is, maar welke?

h.: stay tuned, zet hem niet af, blijf luisteren

Blijkbaar een benaming voor 'the tiny wire that connects to the detector crystal in a crystal radio set. The radio itself was also called a "Cats Whisker" during the pioneering days of broadcasting in 1925.'

The Cats Whisker Streamer Lure was invented by the English Fly Fisherman David Train in the 1980's. David named the fly "Cats Whisker" because on the original design, he used four white whiskers shed from his pet cat to stop the wing looping around the hook shank!

Wellicht wil de dj zeggen dat hij hoopt dat we zullen blijven luisteren...
