Apparently when the cold war was at its height, occasional groups of Westerners would visit the USSR to be treated to the usual round of ministerial speeches. <BR/><BR/>None of the visitors was usually able to speak the language, so the speech would consist of sentences like, "When we are in charge, you will all die slowly and painfully," delivered with a beaming smile. It would then be up to the translator to fill in the words that should have been spoken, "This sewage treatment plant is the pride of the region," without cracking up. <BR/><BR/>Well, it made me laugh, anyway.Omega Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06510548355469861782noreply@blogger.com
