BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - What was meant to be an April Fools' Day joke quickly turned humorless when a Florida utility was bombarded with phone calls from residents concerned about the safety of its water.
As a result of the prank, popular Gator Country 101.9 morning hosts Val St. John and Scott Fish have been suspended indefinitely.
"They made a bad call. It was a bad call," said Gator Country General Manager Tony Renda.
St. John and Fish began announcing on the air Monday morning that there was "dihydrogen monoxide" in the Lee County water supply.
