Context? III

One of the most startling statements I've ever heard out of context on the radio: "In a furious rage, I strangled the man with my bare hands until his eyes popped out."  KDHX aired this on October 6, 1991, and I wasn't sure what to make of it.  Birds were chirping in the background, and the speaker sounded almost robotic.  I sure hope that he was reading from a work of fiction and not recalling a crime he'd committed!
