Apparently that dog likes women too. That is a very spoiled dog. Remember that movie with the big dog that wanted to jump a woman and she ducked? The dog landed in a bunch of garbage cans.

The dog probably gets Putin to pour the champagne into his bowl. After grabbing the bottle out of the fridge.

[I love the notion that it took 3 journalists to produce this 4 sentence article.]

How many Soviets does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
5

1 to steal an AMerican bulb,
1 to re-design it into a new Russian Bulb,
1 to die heroicly in an accident while changing the bulb,
1 to ensure that the project remains a secret from the evil capitalists,
and 1 to execute everyone involved in “operation lightbulb,” and deny it’s existance.

How many soviets does it take to change a light bulb?

Three.

One to stand in line for the ladder
one to stand in line for the lightbulb
and one ready to stand in line for the other two in the event that toilet paper becomes available.

Well, the Soviets DID surgically create two-headed dogs...

And to think they called Roky Erikson crazy because he sang about them...
