Prof. Michael Katz - Russian Joke, Adam and Eve

 

I can start with a joke, but it isn't one of the Jewish jokes, it's a Russian Joke but it's a very good joke. 


So there's this large canvas with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. And there are three people standing in front of the canvas an Englishman Frenchman and a Russian. And they're looking at the canvas they're looking at the painting and they're trying to decide to which nationality Adam and Eve belong. 


The Englishman "looks at the painting and he says I say they're so demure they're so reserved obviously they're English


The Frenchman says "look at these people, they are beautiful, they are naked, they are french.."


The Russian shakes his head 

"comrades you are both wrong, look closely at details in this painting. These people have no clothes, these people have no where to live, these people have only one apple to share between them for food, and these people are being told they live in Paradise. These people are Russian"
