Synopsis: Selected from the National Public Radio archives, these stories by some of NPRs favorite commentators will keep listeners laughing.A driveway moment is when youre so captivated by a story on NPR that you stay in your car to hear it to the end--even if youre sitting in your own driveway. Some are serious, some are touching, and some, like the stories included here, are very, very funny.Stand-up comic Amy Borkowsky shares messages left on her answering machine by her overprotective mom. )Hi, Amila, I just was watching the news and I heard about that little girl who was alone in an apartment for nine days without food. Honey, please be sure you have enough to eat in the fridge...) All Things Considered looks at misunderstood song lyrics. Commentator Bob Garfield shares his Powerball Dreams a bit prematurely. Composer Charlies Barnett remembers his days as a hippie hitchhiker. Bill Harley contemplates the multiple meanings of family talk. David Sedaris relates his experiences as an American in Paris. And Kevin Kling contributes his own wry and riotously funny take on life. Literate, intelligent, and droll, each tale is worth hearing again and again, and now you dont have to stay in your car.
