Raithe

Three men have to share a hotel room in Chelyabinsk during a congress. Naturally, in the evening, they start drinking. One thing leads to another, and they find themselves telling political jokes. Concerns that any of the others may be KGB informants or that the room may be bugged are readily dissolved in alcohol. Everybody is having a great time. One is tired and really feels like sleeping; he decides to pull a joke on the others. He excuses himself, runs to the lobby and gives the receptionist a few bills. “Please send someone to my room with a bottle of vodka, some rye bread and salt in ten minutes.” He then returns to the room. After a few minutes, he notes to the others that stocks of refreshments are running low. “Not to worry, comrades! I have good contacts.” He leans over towards the potted plant in the corner, grabs it and loudly says, as if speaking into a microphone: “Comrades at the listening post, this is lieutenant Dyatlov! We urgently require a bottle of vodka, some rye bread and salt to our room! Make haste!” The others laugh their asses off – until a minute later, there’s a knock on the door and vodka, salt and rye bread is served. You could hear a pin drop. Our man goes to sleep, enjoying the quiet. When he wakes up in the morning, the others are gone. A note is left on the table. “Comrade! A couple of your jokes yesterday would easily get you to Siberia! (The one about Stalin’s maid, while hysterical, could get you in front of a firing squad!!!) However, we liked that room service joke so much, we’ll let you off the hook this time. Sincerely, KGB.”

Trying to get back into the job hunt with the New Year, and that half prep for dad starting radiotherapy next week. Still puttering stuff around for Mandalorian Mercs application in the future. Figuring out how to use Blender to get what I want on those STL designs. On the real world side of things, I've picked up a pair of scrubs that I'm going to turn into the flight suit. Spent half an hour starting to rip seams out of one set so I've got spare material that matches when I get to work on the main set to be worn.

For a dose of the political humour...

Cat Physics Lesson Newton’s Laws of Motion as applied to Cats and Kittens By John Mollan © 2022 1. A cat at rest remains at rest, and a kitten in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force such as a can opener or a laser beam. 2. The acceleration of a cat depends on the level of curiosity. 3. Whenever a cat or kitten exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first which results in the other object to be knocked onto the floor.
