Dear colleagues:
One of my students (from Ufa) told me a witty joke that you may have already
heard:
V zhizni muzhchiny est' chetyre etapa:
1) Eshche net!
2) Uzhe, da!
3) Eshche, da!
4) Uzhe net!
I am trying to translate it in order to share it with my unfortunate,
non-Russian speaking friends. I came up with the following rhyming replies:
1) Not yet!
2) You bet!
3) What for?
4) No more!
Knowing how serious our last chain on Freud, S-M, and "khlysty" has been, I
thought it time for something completely different. If anyone has ideas or
suggestions for this amusing project, please post them to the list.
