At a recent karaoke session, Pete received the highest score even though his was clearly the worst performance of the night. So Pete said, "It must have been the Russian judge."

The "Russian Sneak Attack" and "It mus have been the Russian judge" comments are the exact sort of witticisms that don't go over so well.Pete LaCockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458090140733071319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230088126505645546.post-58867290281054925252009-04-07T13:33:00.000-07:002009-04-07T13:33:00.000-07:00Those fries do sound delicious.

I've had drinks with the Russians at Coney Island, and from my experience, they don't get angry, they get even with outrageously high alcohol content beer.
