From the Ukraine

[Guest guest]

A Ukrainian man shows up at work, all his clothes rumpled. When his

colleagues ask what happened, he replies: "I turn on the TV this morning,

and there's Putin praising Yanukovich. I switch to another channel, and

there's Putin again, praising Yanukovich. So I switch the channels again,

and there's again Putin praising Yanukovich. I turn on the radio, and Putin

is there, too, praising Yanukovich. So I figured there was no use turning on

the iron."
