[joe-frank-list] shooting the dogs

[Stephen E. Bacher]

And this, from https://slate.com/culture/2018/01/joe-franks-last-interview-before-his-death.html :

Frank was possibly the first to goof on pledge drives, once threatening to shoot a dog on air if KCRW didn't make its
goal. (They didn't, and sound effects ensued. "We did a great whimper or whine, right after the bullet was fired," Frank
says.)
