athenaltenaLooking up Russian jokes (translated) and I admit I'm laughing. Russian humor is decitively fatalistic and very self mocking, but quite funny:
A lecturer visits the mental hospital and gives a lecture about how great communism is. Everybody claps loudly except for one person who keeps quiet. The lecturer asks: "Why aren't you clapping?" and the person replies "I'm not a psycho, I work here."
An old woman stands in the market with a "Chernobyl mushrooms for sale" sign. A man goes up to her and asks, "Hey, what are you doing? Who's going to buy Chernobyl mushrooms?" And she tells him, "Why, lots of people. Some for their boss, others for their mother-in-law..."
A memo in a Moscow University student dining hall: Students, do not drop your food on the floor, two cats have already died from eating it.
