A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto. However, the poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries.
One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn’t know how to put forward her request, and in desperation, clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. Her butcher got the message, and gave her the chicken legs.
Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn’t know how to say it, and so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts! The butcher understood again, and gave her some chicken breasts.
On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store…
Ahem!
Her husband spoke English.
What were you thinking?
(But seriously… as for the butcher…
… it’s been reported that he loves his job!)

Comment by 70steen July 2, 2009 @ 4:41 PMI don’t remember which Russian hockey player it was, Pavel Bure maybe, but the story goes that when the first Russian players signed on with the Vancouver Canucks in the mid-80s – before the end of the Soviet Union – one player’s wife couldn’t believe how much food there was in Canadian supermarkets. On her first visit she apparently bought two or three shopping carts full of meat at once, thinking there wouldn’t be any more for awhile.
Comment by ian in hamburg July 3, 2009 @ 5:58 AMDP – you can run… but I still have the keys for the office {{{and your missing credit card}}}
70steen – rofl
ian – ok, I could make a joke there about the meat but since it’s a true story, I won’t. I do think many of us don’t realize how fortunate we are here.
