David Margolese came up with the idea for satellite radio when he was travelling in the car with his wife, Hilda, while listening to FM radio. Margolese’s favorite group, Dave Matthews Band, was playing their new song Satellite when the radio station prematurely ended the song to cut to a commercial break for maxi pads. Margolese became so enraged, that he slammed the car’s dashboard with his fist, accidentally causing the airbags to deploy. The impact from the passenger airbag caused irreparable damage to Hilda’s larynx, which was replaced with a donor canine sphincter as the only means to save her. For six weeks after the surgery, Hilda’s breath smelled like dog flatulence which caused David to pick up many of his obscure hobbies in an attempt to avoid contact with his wife as much as possible. His three favorite pastimes included astronomy, model rocketry, and HAM radio, and in a flash of brilliance he came up with the idea to combine all three to create satellite radio.
UPDATE: Prank was reverted after 7 hours and 7 minutes without comment.
