Don Sample Wins Mr Dull Guy Award

Don Sample Wins Mr Dull Guy Award: "Don Sample Wins Mr. Dull Guy Award!

Ruch, OR UPI
Don Sample, longtime broadcaster and bass virtuoso from the famous Applesauce Gang, has again won the 'Mr. Dull Guy' Award. This is the 7th consecutive year that Mr. Sample has won the award.
When told of his award, Sample grunted and admitted that he probably deserved it. Known for his lack of a sense of humor, Sample is responsible for giving the residents of the Rogue Valley a good days sleep. He has been known to lull listeners into such a deep sleep that many people have actually missed a day at work or at school.
'I am quite proud of my record in this regard', droned Mr. Sample. I feel I have contributed to the well-being of the citizens of this area by providing them with restful and sleep-inducing material. Other broadcasters do a disservice to folks by constantly giving them something interesting to think about, while I, on the other hand, lull them into a state of sleepiness almost akin to a trance.'
Mr. Sample credits his outstanding dullness to his long-time involvement with the infamous Applesauce Gang, with whom he traveled for many years.

'Those guys in the Applesauce Gang were so ridiculously cheerful, that I felt I had to do something to counteract it. So gradually I adopted a posture of studied dullness, punctuated with a severe lack of humor, just to give balance to the group.'
As winner of the Mr. Dull Guy Award, Sample was awarded a copy of the collectors item 'The Applesauce Gang Rides Again!'
