| Background: Known for his role of the gravel-voiced, disreputable-looking, rapier-witted misanthrope who loathed children and animals and fought bankers, landladies, and the IRS. The most senior on air talent at WWDB. Irv has been know to get quite cranky when callers repeatedly ask "Howya doin Irv?" or "Thanks for taking my call." A little know story goes something like this. Once on a remote after a particularly trying day on the air Irv was approached from behind by a gentleman who blurted out a loud "Howya Doin Irv?" Well...at this outburst Irv wheeled around slammed the man down on the table, slid his gun out and pointed the barrel at him. It was only then did he realize that the man was his boss, GM Dan Sullivan. Oh of course they all deny this story but that just proves it to be true. Really, would we make all this up? Okay ... how about this True story sent in by one of Irv's boyhood pals. When Irv and his buddies would visit the local "swimmo" there was a rule that once you get out you stay out. They would check to see if your swimsuit was wet when you tried to get back in. Well Irv and his buddies would take off their pants and throw them in the street to let the cars run them over to dry them. After a few hundred cars went by they would calmly walk out, naked, and retrieve them. Being rather well umm ... physically umm ... gifted, Irv was the one proud enough to run out to pick them up. True! really ... the pool was just north of the Tacony Bridge. Okay we really don't know about the uhh ... "gifted" part. | Irv's
Truisms
Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??! Once ... in the wilds of Afghanistan, I lost my corkscrew, and we were forced to live on nothing but food and water for days. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again. Then give up. There's no use being a damned fool about it. Start every day with a smile and get it over with. What a gorgeous day. What effulgent sunshine. It was a day of this sort the McGillicuddy brothers murdered their mother with an axe. The only thing a lawyer won't question is the legitimacy of his mother. ... more people are driven insane through religious hysteria than by drinking alcohol. |
