Back to telling jokes!
Me: Dayte pajalusta decit yitza. (give me please ten eggs)
Nice lady who works at the store by my apartment: y menya nyet. (I don't have any)
Me: Hmmm...y vas yest kuritza? (do you have chicken?)
NLWWATSBMA: Da, konyetchna. (yes, of course)
Me: Ya ne ponimayu! Yest kuritza no nol yitza? Pochimu? (you have chicken but no eggs? WHY?)
NLWWATSBMA: *laughs hysterically for two minutes*
In unrelated news, the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence happened this weekend. I was the guy waiting for the internet cafe to open at 8 am on Sunday so I could get the results. Yup, I really miss debate!

you should have let me know you were waiting half-way across the world... we'd have been quicker with the updates :).

I am so impressed that you can make a joke in Russian! I was totally lame in German the entire time I was there AND I had studied it for two years before. Way to go, buddy!
