When you consider Open Mics and Karaoke, you are exposing yourself to hundreds of other people's germs, viruses, etc. The ad suggests getting your own mic, and when you can get an SM58 for around $100, that's good advice. There is a cheaper method, though, about $2.00.

p.s. "Of course you can borrow my mic. By the way, may I borrow your toothbrush? grin
