RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

A RUSSIAN COUPLE WERE WALKING

DOWN THE STREET IN ST. PETERSBURG,

WHEN THE MAN FELT A DROP HIT HIS NOSE.

"I THINK IT'S RAINING,"

HE SAID TO HIS WIFE.

"NO, THAT FELT MORE LIKE SNOW TO ME,"

SHE REPLIED.

"NO, I'M SURE IT WAS JUST RAIN, HE SAID."

THEY WERE ABOUT TO HAVE A MAJOR ARGUMENT

ABOUT WHETHER IT WAS RAINING OR SNOWING.

JUST THEN THEY SAW A MINOR COMMUNIST

PARTY OFFICIAL WALKING TOWARD THEM.

"LET'S NOT FIGHT ABOUT IT,"

THE MAN SAID,

"LET'S ASK COMRADE RUDOLPH WHETHER

IT'S OFFICIALLY RAINING OR SNOWING."

AS THE OFFICIAL APPROACHED,

THE MAN SAID,

"TELL US, COMRADE RUDOLPH,

IS IT OFFICIALLY RAINING OR SNOWING?" 

"IT'S RAINING, OF COURSE,"

HE ANSWERED AND WALKED ON.

BUT THE WOMAN INSISTED:

"I KNOW THAT FELT LIKE SNOW!"

TO WHICH THE MAN QUIETLY REPLIED:

"RUDOLPH THE RED KNOWS RAIN, DEAR!"
