From Russia With No Love.
"Oh Natasha I love you. I love you like Tibor loves his tractor."
"Ivan, I love you too! I vant you right now."
'Natasha, it is our bad fortune that ve have no residence or money to rent a room at the Red Sickle Inn"
"Yes it is too bad, there are no jobs to be had. Ve have nothing…but eachother."
"Kiss me Natasha!"
-smooch-
"Hold it right there you two. I'm afraid I'm going to have to write you a ticket. You perverts never learn. It is illegal to show affection in what used to be called Mother Russia but I still refer to it that way cause it's better."
"WHAAH-?"

It has been brought to my attention that the government in the former Soviet Union is trying to pass a law to make it illegal to show affection i.e. kissing in public. They have decided that it is not right to have innocent children exposed to it. I repeat -WHAAH? Combined in a law to wipe out public indecency for the sake of the children I believe that the government has finally stripped away the last bit of anything that Boris Q. Public had. I mean come on people you subjected these people to decades of communism, wrecked that, which in turn wrecked the economy, so now you have millions of poor people without work and infected with a sick fascination with the potato and you want to take away the only thing they have left? That's just plain mean.

I understand the other laws regarding public misbehavior, like public drunkenness who really needs to see that. Or spitting we could really go without people hocking loogies everywhere, but kissing? That's not that gross…well depending on who's doing it. I can see why you would hide all of those other acts from the youth of tomorrow but isn't kissing a good thing? Isn't it nice to show affection to your loved one? I think it makes for a nicer society filled with smooching people…well something like that.

The other hole in the plan is the whole broken down golf cart of an economy you've got going on there Pyoter. If these people are jobless and they lose their home and they have to live on the street you're saying that they're never allowed to kiss? You got something about homeless people? They're human beings just like you and me Pyoter! Don't look at me that way…you know what I'm talking about. Ahem.

Give the people something to warm themselves on a cold Siberian night, a man cannot live on vodka and potatoes alone. These people need something and that something is a little sumpin' sumpin'. Wreck the country I don't care but don't take away the public affection. In fact I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for my parents and their ability to do a little neckin' in public. Thanks John and Val.


Man I need sleep.
