Inside Jokes

To the Sheetz - My town was founded on ancient salt mines; in fact they still mine it here today. This is the place where Grandpa's man must have bought HIS salt. Aunt Janet, I told your duck and donut story in Ukrainian the other day. I messed it up but it STILL went over great.

To Ace, Tex, and Bossman - Told the fuzzy bra story the other night in Ukrainian, while we were all swapping stories of drunks who have lost their where abouts. It went over HUGE, hope you don�t mind.

To the Island Mates - My Ukrainian friends made a joke about someone trying to sell fish eyes for caviars. In some attempt to kid them, or gross them out, I told them how good fish eyes can be. They found this hilarious and took the totally wrong message - they envisioned what a good job it would be for some Ukrainian to sit their popping them out and packaging them!!

To the PCV's (and everyone else who, like Ukrainians, have an extreme fear of sitting on cold things because it will freeze your ovaries) - In all this joking the other night, it came out that a man has ovaries too! I almost fell out of my chair, I was laughing so hard. It seems the Ukrainian word "eggs" is how both ovaries AND testicles are translated.
