Not the Soviet Union

The radio station was automated. My four-hour morning show was the only show not prerecorded or pulled in by satellite. It was WMXE 102.5 in Adrian Michigan. The stations format was best hits best variety.  At 5:58 am daily the network would fire our last spot before my show. I-worked-as-roofer-to-support-my-radio.html  It was Whitney Houston singing the National Anthem. After Whitney finished singing the station would go to dead air or my morning show would begin with the boss is still in bed block. Road conditions, weather, sports and news are required by a morning show host to convey to the listeners. In our weather we would mention three villages or towns and cities in the opening. Moscow is village on U.S 12 west of Michigan speedway in Brooklyn.
 In throwing Moscow into my weather, I'd say, "let's take a look at your mix 102.5 weather center forecast for the cities including (but not limited to) Brooklyn Somerset and Moscow" and then I would add "not the Soviet Union. I thought I was funny and who could be offended?
Well, I received a call from a woman one morning she told me she was from Russia. She gave me a history lesson on the phone told me Russia wasn't the Soviet Union anymore and I sounded stupid every time I said it. I told her I didn't know, and I was sorry if I offended her. She assured me she wasn't offended she just wanted me to know I sounded stupid. I continued selling my weather to "Brooklyn Somerset and Moscow not the Soviet Union" Hey people in Russia need to know the weather too. I had fun on the radio stupid-is-as-stupid-does.html even if I'm not Politically correct I try. I don't try and pretend I'm smart...teacher-pooped-my-bubble.html  My girlfriend Christina says "your stupid" to me all the time. I don't get mad. I'll find my purpose in life even if I have to invent something or write a book.The-jerk-do-you-remember-you-mean-im.html
