Context? CCXCIII

I wonder now why I didn't just switch over to WSIE or KEZK to find out what Christmas carol might have been playing.

Instead, I stayed tuned in this morning for a listener's call on another station, in which he insisted--correctly--that most people mispronounce Robinson Crusoe's last name as Carusoe.

After the caller's initial one-sentence summary, I should have just thought, "He's right," and switched to another station or turned the radio off.  Inexplicably, I waited until the caller and host burned the caller's point into the ground.

I'm not sure why I thought the rules of hospitality applied when listening to the radio during a drive.  Perhaps I have a tad too much Christmas good will.
