One of my best friend's dogs barking will give me a headache in about 10-seconds. I can hear trains coming long before others do.

Anytime I accidentally hear tRumps' voice, it is instantly turned off. I think if I were forced to listen for more than a minute, I would become physically ill.

Thanks for posting this - was beginning I was the only one, LOL.
