Before his departure, he was summoned to the KGB for a conversation, and considering its futility, they instructed him with only one thing:
- Answer all provocative questions by saying that we have the shortest workday in our country...
On the very first day of being abroad, Vanka got into trouble when he went down from his room to a bar, and there he found an Englishman and a Frenchman sitting, happy... drinking and eating, you see...
The Englishman:
- When my Mary sits on a horse from Her Majesty's stables, her legs hang down to the ground... This doesn't mean that we have such short horses. It just means that my Mary has long, slender legs...
The Frenchman:
- When I walk with Marie along the Champs-Élysées, I gently hug her around the waist, and my hand touches hers... This doesn't mean that I have such long arms! It means that my Marie has a thin, slender waist...
Vanka:
- When I hear the factory whistle and go to work, I pat my Manka on the backside... And when I come home from work, her backside is still swaying. But this doesn't mean that my wife has a fat, thick backside... It means that we have the shortest workday!
