Grizzly - joke for vashper :-)
Do you know this one?
Russian hunters catch a bear in the woods. They carry it home, when they meet American hunters who ask: "Grizzly, Grizzly?" Russians answer with great pride: "Nyet, strelyali!"

vashperWe have a little bit more realistic version (where we have the Americans in the woods?)
Moscow tourists go on mountain forest. Meet them two Georgian hunters bear bear . Tourists:
- Wow, grizzly?
- Wakh, zachem grizzly? Rukami zadushillie! (Hands strangled)
The point of the anecdote (multiple meanings) that the American word grizzly sounds like the Russian word "gryzzly" ("gnawed") uttered with a Georgian accent; Georgian hunters do not know the English words, and the Moscow tourists too cosmopolitan (use English word but not Russian).
Unfortunately, stories, built on the word game usually untranslatable.

DPHMINGrizzy means to bite or chew, and strelat means to shoot. Hope this clarifies the joke .

wasbeemanAfter a morning round of golf, a man stops off in a diner for a hamburger and coke. His pants were a little tight so he took two golf balls out of his pocket and put them on the counter. After staring at them for a long moment, the waitress asks "what are those?" And the guy tells her that they're golf balls. That seems to satisfy her and she takes his order and such.
A week later he stops in the same cafe and repeats the golf balls on the counter routine. The waitress gives him a big smile and says, "I see you shot another golf."
