Hello, @Krosh,

 "Little Johnny 

 

A traveling salesman rings this doorbell. 10 year old little Johnny answers, holding a beer and smoking a fat cigar. 

The salesman says, "Little boy is your mother home?" 

Little Johnny taps his ash on the carpet and says, "As well as you think?"

 "An American tourist walked out of his hotel in the middle of the Sahara Desert. He was wearing nothing but his swimming trunks and carrying his beach towel. A local man came along on his camel and the American said: - Can you tell me where the sea is? - It's nearly 100 kilometres from here, said the Arab. - Now, this is what I call a beach, said the American."

 A man goes skydiving. After a fantastic free fall he pulls the rip cord to open his parachute but nothing happens. He tries everything but can't get it open. 

Just then another man flies by him, going UP. The skydiver yells, "Hey, you know anything about parachutes? The man replies, "No, you know anything about gas stoves?

This Summer I attend American Embassy quite often. The reason is they arrange a lot of quite interesting cultural projects for Russian people. It`s for free. For example today I`m going to this lecture:

Lecture: “Food: Improve Your Health for Life”

Stereotypes about Americans often include fast food, McDonalds and obesity. You may be surprised to learn that many in the U.S. enjoy and seek out healthy and natural foods. Organic food, for example, is the fastest growing sector in the food industry in the U.S., as more and more Americans value choosing healthy alternatives. One lifestyle that is gaining more popularity in the U.S. is choosing a plant-based diet. Is this all about tasteless greens  and bland cuisine? You’ll be surprised!

Learn more about the benefits of a plant-based diet, debunking some common food myths; food issues in the U.S. and Russia; and gain tips about how we can improve our energy levels during the day. (You’ll also have an opportunity to taste some delicious samples!)

The guy who wrote this desperately needs a tutor

Very funny, however.

I am making Russian Salad, so called Olivye. The problem is...not to eat it up during the night. But I know I can

By the way, I recommend that everyone should watch this short episode. Hilarious!

Alaskan tourism 

 

If you are considering doing some camping this summer, please note the following public service announcement: In Alaska, tourists are warned to wear tiny bells on their clothing when hiking in bear country. The bells warn away MOST bears (brown, black, etc.), but be careful because they don't scare Grizzly Bears. Tourists are cautioned to watch the ground on the trail, paying particular attention to bear droppings to be alert for the presence of Grizzly Bears. One can easily spot a Grizzly dropping because it has tiny bells in it.

@victorian,

You're quite right! One can never, never judge a book by its screen version! That's why I always prefer reading a book before watching a film based on it. In my opinion, no screen version can be better than a book. The only screen version I like is "War and Peace" by S. Bondarchuk. It's an old film, but I can't help admiring it!
