Subj:     Buying A Car In The Soviet Union (S490b)
          From: Joke-Of-The-Day-Mail.com on 6/9/2006

 Back during the days of the Soviet Union, it took 10 years to
 get a car after you paid for one.

 Once, a young guy went to the car dealership to order a car.
 He paid the money, and the asked when can he come and get the car.

 "It will be here, waiting for you, exactly 10 years from today".

 The man signed the papers, started walking away and then stooped,
 turned and asked the salesman: "Wait, will it be ready at the
 morning or at the afternnon".

 "What difference does it make?", asked the salesman.

 "Well", answered the man, "the plumber is coming in the morning".

Subj:     Russian Soldier Eats Bed (S244b, DU)
          From: jerry on 10/2/2001

 Bonehead award two goes to a Russian army soldier who ate
 half of his bed in the hope of getting out of the army.  A
 week after his hungry man meal he needed surgery after
 falling ill.  19 metal hooks, among other metal items,
 had to be removed from various sections of his digestive
 system.

 While he may now get out of the army, he will probably be
 charged with trying to get out of the army and for
 damaging state property.

Subj:     American Needed To Piss In Moscow (S158, DU)
          From: JOKE-OF-THE-DAY.com on 02/07/2000

 An American tourist in Moscow found himself needing to
 take a leak very badly.  After a long search he just
 couldn't find anyplace to relieve himself.  So he just
 went down one of the side streets to take care of business.

 Before he could even get unzipped a Moscow police officer
 said, "Hey you, what are you doing?"

 "I gotta go, man," replied the tourist.

 "You can't go here.  Look, follow me," the policeman
 offered.

 The police officer led him to a beautiful garden with lots
 of grass, pretty flowers, and manicured hedges.  "Here,"
 said the cop, "whiz away."

 The American shrugs, turns, unzips, and starts right on
 the flowers.  "Ahhh.  Whew.  Thanks.  This is very nice
 of you.  Is this Russian courtesy?" asked the tourist.

 "No.  This is the American Embassy."

Subj:     A Weather Man Named Rudolf (S89, DU)
          From: humorlist-digest V2 #245 on 98-10-13
      and From: scott_pryor on 98-12-20

 He's always had a 100% accuracy rate for his forecasts
 of the Russian weather conditions.  His people loved him
 and respected him for his faultless foresight.  He was
 particularly good at predicting rain.  One night, despite
 clear skies, he made the prediction on the 6:00 PM news
 broadcast that a violent storm was approaching.  It would
 flood the town in which he and his wife lived.  He warned
 the people to take proper precautions and prepare for the
 worst.

 After he arrived home later that evening, his wife met
 him at the door and started arguing with him that his
 weather prediction was the most ridiculous thing she had
 ever heard.  This time, she said, he had made a terrible
 mistake.  There wasn't a cloud anywhere within 10 miles of
 the village.  As a matter of fact, that day had been the
 most beautiful day that the town had ever had and it was
 quite obvious to everyone that it simply wasn't going to
 rain.

 He told her she was to be quiet and listen to him.  If he
 said it was going to rain, IT WAS GOING TO RAIN.  He had
 all of his Russian heritage behind him and he knew what he
 was talking about.  She argued that although he came from
 a proud heritage, IT STILL WASN'T GOING TO RAIN.

 They argued back and forth for hours , so much that they
 went to bed mad at each other.

 During the night, sure enough one of the worst rainstorms
 hit the village the likes of which they had never seen.
 That morning when Rudolf and his wife arose, they looked
 out the window and saw all the water that had fallen that
 night.

 "See," said Rudolf, "I told you it was going to rain."
 His wife admitted: "Once again your prediction came true.
 But I want to  know, just how were you so accurate, Rudolf?"
 To which he replied,  ...

 ... "You see, Rudolf the Red knows rain dear!"

Subj:     Leningrad Cowboys & Red Army Choir
          Singing SWEET HOME ALABAMA (S586b)
          From: rfslick on 4/13/2008
 Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lNFRLrP014

 Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red
 Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and
 musicians.  It still exists.  The Red Army Choir performs
 throughout Russia to this day.

 Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad
 Cowboys.  A little while ago, they held a concert in
 Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russian
 teenagers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on
 stage for a performance of  'Sweet Home Alabama.'  In
 English!  You couldn't make this up!

 You can view this amazing concert at the above source,
 or on my web site by clicking 'HERE'.

Subj:     Diamonds In The Woodshed
          From: humorlist-digest V2 #84 on 98-04-06

 Place and time: somewhere in the Soviet Union in the 1930s.

 The phone rings at KGB headquarters.

 "Hello?"

 "My neighbor Yankel Rabinovitz is an enemy of the State.  He
 is hiding undeclared diamonds in his woodshed."

 "This will be noted."

 The next day, the KGB goons go over to Rabinovitz's house.
 They search the shed where the firewood is kept, break
 every piece of wood, find no diamonds, swear at Rabinovitz,
 and leave.

 The phone rings at Rabinovitz's house.  "Hello, Yankel!
 Did the KGB come?"

 "Yes."

 "Did they chop your firewood?"

 "Yes, they did."

 "Okay, now it's your turn to call.  I need my vegetable
 patch plowed."

Subj:     Brit, French And Russian View Painting (DU)
          From: Bawdy.Net Collage #237 on 98-03-26

 A Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting
 of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden.

 "Look at their reserve, their calm," muses the Brit. "They
 must be British."

 "Nonsense," the Frenchman disagrees.  "They're naked, and
 so beautiful. Clearly, they are French."

 "No clothes, no shelter," the Russian points out, "they
 have only an apple to eat, and they're being told this is
 paradise.  They are Russian."

Subj:     Old Russian Joke (S426, DU)
          From TNKRTEACH on 97-03-29

 A young couple was recently married and the wife was admiring
 the husband's very long eyelashes.  He told her that his
 mother had said that they were very long because he had cried
 so much when he was a child.

 "Better you should have peed more instead", the wife replied.

Subj:     Russian Pees Vodka (S49, S467b)
          From: RFSlick on 98-01-07
      and From: Bartend-JOTD on 12/28/2005

 A Russian is strolling down the street in Moscow and kicks
 a bottle laying in the street.  Suddenly out of the bottle
 comes a Genie.  The Russian is stunned and the Genie says,
 "Hello master, I will grant you one wish, anything you want."

 The Russian begins thinking, "Well, I really like drinking
 vodka."  Finally the Russian says, "I wish to drink vodka
 whenever I want, so make me pee vodka."  The Genie grants
 him his wish.

 When the Russian gets home he gets a glass out of the cup-
 board and pisses in it.  He looks in the glass and it's
 clear.  Looks like vodka.  He smells the liquid.  Smells
 like vodka.  So he takes a taste and it is the best vodka
 he has ever tasted.  The Russian yells to his wife,
 "Natasha, Natasha, come quickly!"  She comes running down
 the hall and the Russian takes another glass out of the
 cupboard and pisses into it.  He tells her to drink, it is
 vodka.  Natasha is reluctant but goes ahead and takes a
 sip.  It is the best vodka she has ever tasted.  The two
 drink and party all night.

 The next night the Russian comes home from work and tells
 his wife to get two glasses out of the cupboard.  He
 proceeds to pee in the two glasses.  The result is the
 same, the vodka is excellent and the couple drink until
 the sun comes up.

 Finally Friday night comes and the Russian comes home and
 tells his wife, "Natasha grab one glass from the cupboard
 and we will drink vodka."  His wife gets the glass from
 the cupboard and sets it on the table.  The Russian begins
 to piss in the glass and when he fills it his wife asks
 him, "But Boris, why do we need only one glass?" Boris
 raises the glass and says, "Because tonight my love, you
 drink from the bottle."

Subj:     Russian Tunnel - Icy Driving (S534)
          From: jbcary1
          on 4/11/2007
 This 1,900 KB movie shows a tunnel in Russia.  It is the
 longest in-city tunnel of Europe.  There is a river running
 over it and water leaks at some points. When the temperature
 reaches minus 38 degrees like it did this particular winter,
 the road freezes and the result is the attached video taken
 during A SINGLE DAY with the tunnel camera.  Congratulations
 to the driving skill of the dual bus driver...Note that a
 couple of truckers were not so lucky.  This is better than
 turn 4 at Daytona.  You can view this movie on my web site

Subj:     Russian Shuttles Equipped w/Shotguns (S328, DU)
          From: jerry on 5/5/2003

 Because of an apparent tendency for Russian spacecraft
 to return to earth, sometimes 2,000 miles from the
 targeted landing site, and most recently 300 miles off
 course, all Russian spacecraft since 1965 are equipped
 with sawed-off shotguns.  It's not to protect them from
 space aliens but rather to protect them from hungry
 animals that may threaten the cosmonauts while they
 wait, maybe days, to be found as happened in 1965 when
 cosmonauts were threatened by packs of hungry wolves.

Subj:     Russian Bribes (S277b, DU)
          From: jerry on 5/23/2002

 The Moscow Times reports that Russians spend a staggering
 $36 billion a year in bribes and unofficial charges, which
 accounts for 12 percent of the gross domestic product.  A
 figure that is conservative according to the paper.

 The Moscow Times 22-May-02
 

 In Russian, a worker goes to buy a new car.  The salesman
 tells him that he can pick it up in ten years.  The worker
 asks what time after ten years can he pick it up.  The
 salesman, surprised, asks "In ten years, what does it
 matter?", to which the worker responds, "I have to know,
 the plumber is coming over that morning."

 Ten percent of the Russian government's income
 comes from the sale of vodka.
