(Voice
speaking through respirator)
You
may have a hard time understanding me because I'm wearing
a respirator. It fits over my nose and mouth and takes dirt,
grain dust, mold, even exhaust fumes, out of the air I breathe.
(Take
off respirator)
That's
better. It's not hard to understand why farmers need to wear
respirators when they do certain jobs. In the long run, respirators
protect my lungs.
Sure,
wearing a respirator can be a hassle, but they sound a lot
better than this...
(sound
of coughing, heart monitor or siren of emergency medical vehicle)
Respirators....it's
perfectly clear why farmers need them.
