THIS IS A TEST, THIS IS ONLY A TEST

MY ASS!

No sir, the aliens have  not landed.  No sir, I know the Roswell landings were just
a recon, but this is not them.  Can you please check your tin foil hat for tears, my  coffee's getting cold.

From this morning's Houston Chronicle. You can see the call taker is really looking forward to this.

There will be beeps. And they will be everywhere.

NO, THEY'RE IN MY HEAD, GET THEM OUT!!!!!!!!

On Wednesday a simultaneous - and intentionally alarming - 30-second blast of scrolling text and irritating tones will be delivered through every TV and radio station in the country.

It will be the first-ever national test of the more than 50-year-old emergency alert system created as a way to communicate with the public in the event of a catastrophe like a nuclear attack. The problem, federal officials said, is that some people won't know it's a test...

That last line says it all.

I thank God I don't go on until 200pm. Day shift, sucks to be you!
