- If you live in the Bay Area (in California) then you must be familiar
- with the radio station KOME.
- Well, several years ago the radio station had an ad about not turning the
- dial, you know, the regular "Don't touch that dial, we'll be right back."
- Anyway, this radio station's ad said, "Don't touch that dial, it has KOME
- all over it."
