Radio: One other tip for a more frugal wedding? Perhaps SKIP the recent trend of dropping thousands of wedding photo leaflets from an airplane, blanketing the entire city.
Radio: Wedding expert Maggie Jane says, "To save some money, consider dropping ONLY a FEW HUNDRED leaflets, concentrating on the neighborhoods you frequent most. And don't overlook the cost benefits of printing your leaflets in black and white!"
[[A severe-looking woman and a man with a thick beard and glasses listen to the show.]]
Leaflet Advocate: This is an INSULT. A real slap in the face to the whole wedding-leaflet industry! Hundreds of leaflet droppers will be hurt by this shallow, attention-grabbing advice!
Pilot: EXACTLY! I always say, drop as many leaflets as is in your budget. You don't have to go nuts. A thousand is fine!
Leaflet Advocate: RIGHT? It's the couple's special day. Who's to say how many leaflets they should or shouldn't drop?
Leaflet Advocate: Some chick on the RADIO?
Pilot: I have a commercial pilot's license, a sheet-fed offset printing press, and a basket with a hook on it. I have been doing leaflet dropping for over THIRTEEN MONTHS.
Pilot: I am a PROFESSIONAL. Let me do my job!!
Leaflet Advocate: EXACTLY!
Pilot: EXACTLY!!
[[A banner at the top of the panel reads: "LATER". Two men are strolling along, one with a bowler hat, the other with a top hat. Hundreds of leaflets are falling from the sky, blanketing the air and ground.]]
Tophat: I hate wedding season
