Too Few Medals Earns Gulag Vacation
The Winter Olympics are over and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is not amused. He is embarassed by the Russians poor showing (only 3 golds)and said his country's Olympic officials should step down. On cue, the head of the Russian Olympic Committee offered his resignation, which was instantly accepted amid reports that this disgraced official was suddenly "unavailable for comment". Said Medvedev: "It'll be a sunny day in Siberia before this shit happens again!" Medvedev is currently spending rubles like a drunken sailor trying to convince top American, Canadian and Kenyan athletes to immigrate to Russia before the Summer Olympics begin.
Actual Russian Joke (Or So I'm Told): President Medvedev and Premier Putin are out to dinner together at Moscow's finest restaurant. After a cocktail, the waiter approaches and asks Putin what he would like for his entree. Putin replies, "A porterhouse steak, medium rare, and a baked potato." The waiter asks, "And for the vegetable?" Glancing at Medvedev, Putin says, "He'll have the same."
