DUNK THE DJ

(Click on any image for a larger Picture)

At the Summerfest in 1995, a DJ from WHDG in Rhinelander made the challenge that no one could knock him over with a fire hose. In fact, he boasted, that for a donation to the Fire Department, anyone who wanted to try would get a chance. This is the story in pictures.

Here's our contestant along with DJ Dave and Frank Bauer.
Corky says "For safety you need to wear the helmet and shield, plus the jacket." DJ Dave says "Nonsense. The helmet will be enough for me."
"All right. Let's get this show on the road. Whose feeling lucky?"
First let's try out the water. "Sure it's cold." Says DJ Dave. "But not much more than a rain shower. This is going to be a snap."
"OOOOh I'm getting wet. Is that the best you can do?"
"Yawn. Seriously. I thought these things were strong."
"Hey! Wait a minute ! I'm just kiddin around here. That's good enough"
"O.K. You win! I believe you. I've got water in places I've never had water before."

"Next? What do you mean next?"

 

17 contestants later, DJ Dave was a believer. And much cleaner!!
