"BBC Radio Stoke host Paula White, who has filled the station's afternoon slot with "guests, chat and outlook on life" for the past six years, was unceremoniously pulled off the air during her final program over concerns she was drunk on the job."
White, had been slurring her speech for 30 minutes before a listener questioned her Sobriety.
"I'm not drunk. I've had a couple of drinks, but I'm not drunk." she replied.
White's reply was one of the internationally recognized answers that people who are definitely drunk definitely give. In any event, her retort and behavior was enough for her higher-ups to yank her from her final show and replace her with fellow DJ Denholm Siergertz who we presume was more sober than she.
"Paula has done so much for the community that I think it would be unfair if she was to be remembered for something like this," said her friend, Sentinel columnist Fred Hughes, defending her otherwise commendable 16-year career.
Ehhhhh, 16 years of service? Have few on your final day, you deserve that much! #pension
