I read the news. I remembered the joke. David and Asia live in the same city. For some reason everyone knew him. He walks down the street, everyone says hello, he passes a factory, everyone says hello. The KGB was interested in this, they called him and asked: - Does everyone know you? yes. - Why? - I don't know, that's how it happened historically. Why does the Pope know you? (mockingly) - Well, yes. best friend - We don't believe. Let's go to the Vatican. They arrive at the Vatican, approach the residence, Uncle Vasya says: Wait here on the balcony, I'll go out with father and you'll see for yourself that we know each other. Five minutes later they go outside, sit on the steps, open a newspaper, a bottle of mumbo-jumbo, eat a snack and drink, chat excitedly. One of the accompanying people stood and looked and suddenly lost consciousness. His colleagues brought him to his senses and asked: Why did you faint, because the Pope knows David and Asia? - No, that's not the reason. I'm standing, looking at them, and local Italians pass by behind and ask each other: Listen, you know what the hell is drinking wine with the uncle and Asia? Then I looked. The news is old. 2024. Yes, and everything in it was distorted, both about the patriarch and about Poklonskaya. But it's still funny. Oleg Tsarev. Telegram and Max.
