Thanks much.  I was hired as the rock DJ at the Summerside radio station when I was 17 and finishing high school and old habits such as joking around too much die hard.

You get what you pay for, Layla.  And I was getting paid 90 cents an hour but by summer got a 50% raise to $1.35 an hour in an effort to get me to join the station full time instead of going off to university.

In the event, I choose university over "the big bucks" but a kid from the other PEI station in Charlottetown stayed in radio and climbed to the top of this competitive industry making it to his own national CTV political news program.

That kid was Mike Duffy (speaking of the senate) who never impressed me very much and not at all after his disgusting finagling with false claims for every conceivable expense allowance and tax deduction to which he really was not entitled.

P.S.  I always preferred the taste and the affects of booze to pot although occasionally I toked just to be sociable.
