there goes another one from Reagan...


Mid 1980s. Moscow. Winter. Bitter cold. A long line of people to buy vodka. The line is so long you cannot see the end of it. Two guys wait in the line and talk to each other.

- You have to wait in lines for bloody ever to buy virtually everything!!! I am so sick of all that!!! I am gonna go and kill Gorbachev for that!!!

... and he goes away. Half an hour later he is back, the line is still there and barely moving. The other guy:

- Did you kill him?
- No.
- Why not?
- The line to kill him is even longer.

continuing with Reagan's jokes...


One day a Moscow Police decree came out stating that anyone caught speeding would be fined. Anyone! No matter who...

One morning Gorbachev was at his dacha. He was running late to the Kremlin and he told his driver to get on the back seat - he would drive to avoid being fined if caught. So, the driver got on the back seat, Gorvachev got on the driver's seat. And down the road they went.

Speeding, they soon passed two motocycle cops. One cop got on his bike and took right after them. Soon enough he was back with his buddy who asked him if he had given them a fine. He said, "No!".
     - Why not?!
     - I could not. He was too important!
     - What do you mean? We ARE supposed to fine anyone caught speeding no matter who!!! You bastard!!!  Tell me who
     that was!!!
     - I did not recognize him. But his driver was Gorbachev.

not exactly English humor.... it's more American. But still worth your attention and laugh. :)

Those who remember rough 1980s in world politics, probably also remember Ronald Reagan, the 40th US president. He was a highly charismatic leader. His charisma might have been attributed to his career of a Hollywood actor back in 50s - 60s (before he came to politics).

Reagan was known for his quite unusual hobby of collecting Russian jokes that he believed were made up by Russian people themselves and revealed not only a great sense of humor in Russian people, but also quite a cynical attitude of Russians toward the Soviet system (in his own words). The context of his jokes was the same: some facts of life in the late Soviet Union like long lines to buy virtually everything, lack (or even absence) of openness (glasnost') when people were discouraged (or outright prohibited) to speak up their mind out of fear of being punished had they said something not exactly in line with the official agenda.

Anyway... In my favourite joke from Ronald Reagan he derides (ridicules) the absence of glasnost' in the USSR. Here is the joke.


Three dogs: an Americal dog, a Polish dog and a Russian dog got together and were having a conversation about life in their respective countries.
An American dog: "When I get hungry, I start barking and I bark long enough before someone comes along and gives me meat".
A Polish dog: "What's "meat"?"
A Russian dog: "What's "bark"?" :biggrin:
