Page "Russian jokes" Paragraph 25

:* Countess Maria Bolkonskaya celebrates her 50th anniversary, the whole local Hussar regiment is invited, and the Countess boasts about her presents.

" Cornet Obolensky presented me a lovely set of 50 Chinese fragrant candles.

I loved them so much that I immediately stuck them into the 7 seven-branch candlesticks you see on the table.

Quite fortunate numbers!

Unfortunately there is one candle left, and I don't know where to stick it ..." — The whole Hussar regiment takes a deep breath ... And the Hussar Colonel barks out: " Hussars, not a word !!!

" ( The gist of the joke is that every Russian adult knows what the Hussars were tempted to say: " Stick it up your ass!

")
