When I was in college in early 70’s one of my friends was in the Russian Language club. He was part of a trip that the club sponsored to the Soviet Union. The stories he told when he came back were interesting.
The students went out to a restaurant one evening. There was an older couple at another table waiting for their order. To pass the time the husband went over to a vending machine that dispensed 8 oz. bottles of Vodka. By the time the food arrived he had 2 bottles in him (16 oz) on an empty stomach. He passed out face first in the Stroganoff at which time the waiters picked him up and tossed him into the street face first much to the distress of his wife.
Another time the students came back to their room and there were men going through the luggage. They wanted to call the police but the fellows going through their luggage were the police.
LOL!!!
Being born Russian is punishment enough!
