Well, different places... sometimes just a street cafe, other variant is a "steep" restaurant and wine instead of coffee...

Wine instead of coffee? I always thought Russians always did everything with Vodka.

Another stereotype, Rob. Of course, Vodka is sort of "national drink", but that doesn't mean we don't drink wine! And anyway, if it was Vodka... hmmm... i dare not imagine what the result might be...

A little "Russian" perhaps?

I suggest, most of the jokes which are not based on play-upon-words, are international. When it comes to play-upon-words, it's, in most cases, impossible to translate them from one language to another...
Or do you mean something else, Gary?..

Sheena, I think he means a little baby Russian, which could conceivably be the outcome of such antics, LOL!

Oh my... i didn't get it - again! Oh well... didn't i say before that sometimes i just think too slowly?..
Or two babies perhaps?..
Another schoolkids joke...
Two guys are going to army. One asks another:
- Shall we have to have our hair cut?
- I dunno.
- Oh, come on! Shall we?
- I dunno. Ask the mouse.
- Hey, mouse, do you know: shall we have to have our hair cut?
- Heey, guys, i'm not a mouse! I'm a hedgehog!

Thanks Melissa.
Don't fret Sheena, I only understand my own words half of the time. I don't know why but I laughed at Mr. Hedgehog. Perhaps because I've had conversations just like that.

Sheena - I laughed heartily when I read your response. Please don't think I'm being nasty but I have several Russian children in my grade 5 class (as well as many other ESL students from around the world). I only realized this year how difficult humour can be to translate! And, I only realized this year how much of our humour (day to day humour anyway) is based on wordplay.
