Hi! All,

Russian rain
------------

A Russian couple were walking down the street in Moscow one night, when the
man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining", he said to
his wife.

"No, that felt more like snow to me", she replied.

"No, I'm sure it was just rain" he said.

Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about
whether it was raining or snowing.  Just then they saw a Communist Party
official walking toward them.

"Let's not fight about it", the man said, "Let's ask Comrade
Rudolph whether it's officially raining or snowing".

As the official approached, the man said, "Tell us, Comrade Rudolph,
is it officially raining or snowing?"

"It's raining, of course", he replied, and walked on.

But the woman insisted: "I know that felt like snow!" to which
the man quietly replied, "Rudolph the Red, knows rain, dear".

=:)

Cheers,
Paul.
