Don’t even think of flushing that down the toilet!
Paying babushkas to doze off
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad the little old Russian ladies, known as a babushka in Russian, are still employed in some places that don’t require much physical labor, but the jobs they have are quite unnecessary….
3Back in Moscow grinding the ax
Let me hear you scream!
Throughout the world the Americans have the unfortunate stereotype of being the noisiest and most obnoxious of nationalities. This is predominantly a stereotype because the Americans can't hold a candle to the Spaniards or Brits....4Hasta la vista Russia!
