Panties is Fundamental - by Amanda Barrett
Bronwyn C.'s "Read 'em and Weep" was a radio book
club, and in 2003 her fundraising premium giveaway was a thong with a picture
of a winking book and the slogan "Panties is Fundamental." Which they
is.
During her Marathon show (listen), Bronwyn was diligently hustling
pledges on mic when DJ Kenny G dropped trou and stuffed his mighty man-unit
into a pair of the teeny girl-undies. The shocked volunteers let the phones
ring as Kenny G panty-danced behind the momentarily unaware Bronwyn.
Suddenly, Kenny G released his big ol' bookworm and rested it on Bronwyn's shoulder. She was somehow able to soldier on until Kenny began whacking her cheek with the thing. Luckily, no permanent physical injuries were sustained. Following post-traumatic stress counseling, Bronwyn said, "I knew Kenny G was nuts, but that's when I realized he was completely out of his mind." March 5, 2003.

I'm sorry, but I have to correct the part abt. the mighty G-unit touching my cheek. That didn't happen, and if it had, Sluggo would have had to kill Kenny G, but it didn't.
It makes a good story, though. And the rest of it is true.
The funniest thing abt. the whole incident is that there were about 15 people in the phone room watching, and when the beast was unleashed they were all so stunned that no one thought to take a photo.
