Russia is hosting the 1982 Olympics and the president, Leonid Brezhnev, was up on stage to give his ceremonial speech. At this point, Brezhnev's right-hand man comes on stage and gives the president his flashcards...
Brezhnev starts off with “Oooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!"
And the crowd goes wild! Repeating Brezhnev patriotically.
Brezhnev gives another “battle cry": “Oooooooooooooooooo!!!"
And the crowd, again, repeats.
Brezhnev again goes for the battle cry, and at this point the crowd is confused.
“What is he doing? I don't understand"
Brezhnev's right-hand man frantically runs back on stage to save his leader from further embarrassment and whispers in his ear
“Comrade, those are the Olympic Rings.... your speech is below."
Yeah
But a little correction: the Moscow Olympic games were hosted in 1980, not '82, and Brezhnev's office was
General Secretary ("gensec"), not President.
