Subject: Christmas cheer Author: Randy Kemp [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03:42:05 12/23/03 Tue How about a break from all the Christmas joviality? A Russian couple was 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. We, 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 towards them. "Let's not fight about it," the husband 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 official 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." -------------------------------------------------------- During a trip to New York, shortly before Christmas, I had the good fortune to stay in the UN Plaza Hotel - 4*'s of utter luxurious decadence. It was wonderful. The only slight downer on the trip was that it coincided with a Chess convention of some description. I was constantly bombarded with facts and figures about Deep Blue, Kasparov and their favorite gambit. It was incessant. Every day I tried to get a quiet martini down in the bar, they would start on and on about all the recent tournament victories that they had acquired. It was as I was checking out, that everything just got way out of hand. I was in the Lobby, surrounded by people with "I love Pawn" written on their shirts, going on and on about how great they were, and how unfortunate everyone who didn't play chess was. I lost it - I started shouting at them, shoeing and ushering them out of the lobby and out into the open street. Unfortunately this attracted the attention of the duty manager, who came out from behind the counter to confront me. Understandably he demanded to know why I'd behaved in such an antisocial manner. I replied, "I can't stand to see chess nuts boasting in an open foyer." [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
