Nikolai! I found a joke on the internet. Have you played with the internet? I just discovered it and I think I'm addicted.. but let me tell you the joke!! ['he tugs at your shirt sleeve, forcing you to look over at him.]
A Russian couple was walking down the street in St. Petersburg the other night, when the man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining," he said to his wife.
"No, that felt more like snow to me," she replied. "No, I'm sure it was just rain, he said." Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing. Just then they saw a minor communist party official walking toward them. "Let's not fight about it," the man said, "let's ask Comrade Rudolph whether it's officially raining or snowing."
As the official approached, the man said, "Tell us, Comrade Rudolph, is it officially raining or snowing?"
"It's raining, of course," he answered and walked on. But the woman insisted: "I know that felt like snow!" To which the man quietly replied: "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"
[ - by the time he's done laughing, tears have welled in his eyes and abs have formed from his cookie belly. even after, he was still clapping sporadically and shaking his head as soft chuckles pushed past his lips. ] Oh! My belly hurts. [ - he struggles for a few moments to catch his breath, mumbling bits of the joke softly only to laugh about them again. ] It's so clever! [ - arms wrapping around you, he buries his face into the crook of your neck to hide his grin and calm down. ] I have something to share as well. [ - pulling away, he reels in his excitement just enough to keep him talking clearly. ] I finished early.
