Our good Bud & Member Bob....Who was with his Tanya in Vitebsk and just recently got back home....Had some adventures while he was in Vitebsk. Bob....Who happens to be a good writer....Sent us this funny story of one of his adventures.....Thanks for sharing this with us Bud!
Bean Goes Shopping
Well, I guess I could report many things about my summer vacation in the heart of the old USSR but the subject of this little note is shopping. This morning Tanya said she would go to the store to get some eggs. “Hah”, said I, “I can do that”. Tanya looked a little surprised but pleased that I would try something on my own. Oh, yes, I have walked Lenin Street by myself, for all of ten minuets, but what the heck, I didn’t have to say boo or Боо , if you prefer Cyrillic, to anyone. This time I might have to remember how to say “Your welcome” to some ones “Thank-you”. That’s “pre-shjall-ta” or something like that.
Anyway, armed with 10000 rubles, that’s about $5, I’m off to the neighborhood food shop. Now this is titled “Bean Goes Shopping” because in Russian, Bob means bean. Yes, my name is actually that most wonderful of vegetables: the lowly bean. Well, anyway, all that shows, is how easily things can get confused when you don’t know beans about the local language.
I tell myself that the fact that a Vitebsk [ ok now, that’s pronounced vi-tip-sk ] police car is parked in front of the store with a sad looking guy in the back seat means nothing. There are a lot of Vitebsk police cars in the morning with some sad looking guy in the back seat around here. It’s not a remarkable sight. He probably can’t remember who he is and they are driving him around to keep him from getting run over by the cars that drive a million kilometers per hour on the streets. Well, that is when the police are not looking. The short course on behavior here is to pretend you are in Manhattan. Don’t look at anyone, don’t try to speak to some one on the street, drive like this is your last day on earth, don’t look at the cars when crossing the street and you will fit right in.
Now you understand this store is about half the size of a 7/11. One central set of shelves. The store is basically a loop. It’s hard to get lost, even if you are the type that spends a lot of time in the back of police cars not too sure who you are this morning. So, I am fairly confident about my task. Tanya has even rehearsed putting eggs into a plastic bag with me. We were in the store two days ago and I saw the pile of eggs in the cooler and we put some in a plastic bag and there was nothing to it.
Of course that was two days ago, and I was attached to Tanya with US wire gage size 000 umbilical cord. Now I am on my own, and after surveying the entire store for the third time, I can’t see any pile of eggs anywhere. Well, is it possible that even after the introduction of at least a modicum of capitalism for twenty years, there is a shortage of something so basics as eggs? Is there some sinister connection to the guy in the back of the police car? Come on, Bean, you are losing it. Maybe she really meant the second store in stead of the first one. What have I got to loose? Try the second store. Besides after all the loops I’ve made around the store I don’t want to end up in the back of a police car with someone asking me for my identity papers; especially since I don’t have my identity papers with me. So, trying not to look at anyone, I exit the store and proceed to the next location, all of fifty paces away.
Now, to please Tanya I have shaved off my beard, and I no longer feel like Bond, James Bond. I feel like Bean, Noklue Bean. Anyway, the second store turns out to be devoid of eggs also and after my third trip around the store I again exit without looking at anyone.
Now on the sidewalk, or rather the dirt path that separates the two stores again, I contemplate that so far Tanya has not been wrong about anything. She said the first store, so the first store must have eggs. I’ll just have to try again because I can't bear the thought of going home empty handed looking like Bean, Noklue Bean in the flesh. So, determined to succeed in my mission, into the store I go again. My drill instructor would be proud.
But this time I allow a frankly puzzled look to ravish my face without any shame. I look around the store twice again and still no eggs. So, I approach one of the helpful clerks, who of course will not look at you, unless you say something to them, and I launch into my carefully rehearsed Russian introduction. I say, “ISZ VA NE-CHIE, YAH NE PIN-YE-MY-OH PAR RUSKI” Which means, “Excuse me, but I do not understand Russian”.
And sure enough, I bring it off without a hitch. Which is a lot better than the first time I tried it, when due to getting the wrong ending on the verb “understand”, what I actually said in a kind of bastard Russian was: “ Excuse me, but I think you do not understand Russian.” You should have seen the laugh that one drew. This time the girl smiles in understanding disbelief and waits for me to continue without even the trace of a snicker. I tell her I am looking for eggs, and make a shape of an egg with my fingers, hoping that she knows enough English and sign language to know what I mean.
She does not. I think: you stupid shit, you really went out without your identity papers. So, I do what all people named Noklue do in such circumstances: I repeated myself, finger language and all. This causes no distress, but does get her to ask for help from a more mature clerk for whom, I , of course, repeat my Noklue finger demonstration and English “eggs”. This does not help. The new clerk looks as baffled as the first.
Now, I really have taken a long time to get these eggs, and soon Tanya will come looking for me, so I am desperate to succeed and get the hell out of here. How do you spell “swallow your pride” in Russian? The same way you do in English. I hold my hands to my chest, and flapping my elbows up and down, make a chicken clucking sound, followed by a gesture, too disgusting to describe in detail, but one that ends up with an egg in my hand.
Bingo, the lights go on. The music plays. A smile erupts on the face of the clerk as she says in Russian, probably something that means, OH, YOU MEAN EGGS !!!!! She quickly takes me to the end of the center display, where, in plain sight, are dozens of eggs. in neat boxes, that look just like what a dozen of eggs should look like, in boxes that is. Yup, just like at home. But the last time I saw eggs in this store, they were in a pile in the cooler, and that’s what I was looking for, a pile of eggs. Not boxes.
So when you are home alone and looking for something, remember to look outside the box, as they say. Try to keep an open mind about what you are looking for. Make no beans about it, it might be right under your nose.
«До свидания» , ops, sorry,.that's “Do svi-dan-ya”, and remember, don’t leave home without your identity papers and a ready sense of humor.
Б ean.

We have a nice funny from Murlin this morning....Thanks Bud!
bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.
Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was
addressed to "Dad."
With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands
and read the letter.
Dear Dad:
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to
elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mom
and you.
I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I
knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos,
tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am.
But it's not only the passion...Dad she's pregnant.
Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods
and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.
We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my
eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be
growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live
nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.
In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so
Stacy can get better. She deserves it.
Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday
I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your
grandchildren.
Love,
Your Son John
PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report
card that's in my center desk drawer.
I love you.
Call me when it's safe to come home.
John
Funny....Especially for us guys who have teenage boys....
