How YouTube Can Teach You About Fairy Tales

This is “Off the Clock” with Anthony J. Booze.
AJ Booze asks residents in our local area questions they rejected at his real job, 1013 KEMT News Radio. You never know where AJ Booze will pop up off the clock.

This morning I woke up wondering… what is a fairy tale?  Instead of cracking open my old encyclopedia Britannica I decided to do my job and set out to town looking for Goblins, Trolls and Witches.  I think I’m missing volume F anyway.After nearly an hour without finding any Goblins to speak with, I went back home for a while to talk with Racter the insane robot computer.   He explained it to me this way:  “An Aristotle could have said, “I can define fairy tale. If a bore discovered enthusiasm, he would be a good bore.”Then it hit me.  I know the best place to find Trolls.  YouTube video comments.  John Oliver, or Johnny O as I like to call him,  turned me on to this with his net neutrality Bit. I went to the official “Frozen” movie trailer to ask my question, but nobody took my question seriously.  People started saying things like  “Never been laid, eh”  “You suck. Check out my channel.”  None of it helpful.

Back to the streets. I started thinking.  Little kids love fairy tales.  I needed to find one.   Problem was every time I approached any, they scattered.   I needed to find someone who owned one of these children.  One who HAD to answer my question.

I found got in touch with one of my high school buddies.

I knew he had owned a child for over 4 years answer and he could get the answer to my question.”Baby A” he said, “tell me what is a fairy tale?”She said matter-of-factly, “A story no one has heard before.”

Great answer!  I can’t wait for the new season of the Walking Dead fairy tale to start next month!  I’ve never seen it before.
