Drop the mic!

My first professional experience with a microphone was on a small local radio in Portugal. It was in a villa, and the “studio” was not soundproofed.

One day, I was describing what a preeminent politician had announced, and the neighbor’s dog kept barking! The curious thing is that it seemed to be synchronized with my quotes. I said “the president announced that” and the dog went “ruff-ruff, ruff-ruff”. “And the president added that…”, “woof-woof, woof-woof”. “But the most important thing the president mentioned was”, “ruff-ruff, ruff-ruff”. 

Politicians… Some bark but don’t bite.
