    Lordy! Mind you, the official has "OKHRANA" on his back, which might have served as a clue ... they were the Tsarist secret police, disbanded after the 1917 Revolution. Unless Putin has brought them back, which we can't entirely discount...

    Man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. “My dog is cross-eyed.” “Well,” said the vet, “let’s have a look at him.” He picks the dog up, checks his eyes & teeth. Finally, he says, “I’m going to have to put him down.” “What, because he’s cross-eyed?” “No, because he’s really heavy”

    More nuclear weapons, Boris? Our wise and glorious leader, whose clarity of vision & good sense are the envy of … no one on earth. Because of course, as we know, the worst can never happen, can it? The gov's response? Scream "woke!" & throttle protest. Watch & quiver…
