Who knows what evil lurks....in your mouth?

In the radio commerical for Listerine® Pocket Packs® (2001), there is a spoof of Orson Welles's version of the radio Shadow. (I've heard this in Toronto, but I'm not sure if it is broadcast all over North America. Please let me know).

The Shadow at 6:45am

The DJs on the WKYS 93.9 FM radio morning show in Potomac, Maryland, were discussing hilarious fictional horoscopes when The Master of Darkness popped up (2003).

They got into this conversation which I forgot what it was even about but one of the hosts actually said "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" and that just made my day already! Then the other host says "What you talkin' about!?" and he replies "Good times good times."

At least Sherlock Holmes had the right idea...

In the 1980s, there was a BBC Radio dramatization of the Sherlock Holmes story The Lion's Mane, starring Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson. The story itself takes place shortly before the First World War.
Here's an interesting excerpt:

"I still find it difficult to credit that one man could do something like that to another," says Watson.
"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?" Holmes moodily replies.
