Today's MOSTLY TRUE SHORT STORY: Oh, The Spanish Station

Words and Photo by F LoBuono

I was in the CBS News Record Room, a control center that is responsible for taking in and recording breaking news video from all over the world, when I looked up at one of the monitors and noticed a woman and a bearded man engaged in a deep kiss. If fact, it was so intimate that when we were kids, we might have described that kind of kiss as sucking face.

I remarked to my co-worker who was manning the room with me: 

"that's one helleva' kiss!"

He responded with: "that's just the Spanish station".

Without missing a beat, I said: "oh, that explains it".

Then, we both went back to work.
