So let's share some of the corny scripts we've all had to tackle. Those kinds that are so hokey, even your golden pipes can't overcome the cheese factor.
I did this one a few days ago:
"It's time to get happy.....WHEELIE happy!
At Performance Tire, we can make you WHEELIE happy!
And we promise....you won't RETREAD it".
Wow.... _________________ http://toddvoice.com/ |

And what's scary is someone probably spent hours writing what they consider to be a masterpiece. I've voiced a few of those. |

...and were you "Under Pressure" to read it?
hahahaha oh hahahaha.
Normally I'd apologize for adding to the pun-pile, but not in this case.
Thank you! And no, I've never had to read anything that corn ball. But if it pays...I'm a money slut. Bring it on! _________________ Scott Burns

I'm sure stuff like that stays in ROTATION.
The worst one I ever had was:
"Capn' Jack's Fish Sticks
Flash frozen and fresh from the fishin' fleet." |
