I'd like to celebrate by taking a ride in a helium balloon.

Years ago, when Bob Edwards was host of Morning Edition, somebody sent him a letter: the writer was a farmer who often listened to Morning Edition while using his tractor, and since Edwards' voice was almost exactly the same pitch as the tractor's rumble, he often couldn't hear was Edwards was saying. He respectfully asked, therefore, if Edwards could raise the pitch just a little when he spoke.

Edwards replied after inhaling helium.
