An on-air exchange I heard between two DJs in 1996:
DJ 1: We've been talking about this move for how many months?
DJ 2: (...This radio station) will be, hopefully, in a new facility.
DJ 1: Maybe. Someday. It's all up in the air right now. I don't know.
DJ 2: That's usually the way it is, you know, in this profession...
DJ 1: I'll just come in here until they tell me to stop, and then, I'll go to another place.
DJ 2: I've done that a time or two.
DJ 1: No, I mean if we move...
DJ 2: Oh, I thought you meant just radio stations in general.
DJ 1: No...although that does come up occasionally.

I understood DJ 2's initial misinterpretation. The radio business is transient by nature, so it's not surprising that he reacted as he did.
