A Russian, a Frenchman and an American are on a cruise ship when it sinks. Washed up on a desert island, they are supplied from the wreckage only with a case of vodka. Having drank it all to wash away their misery, they open the last bottle and a genie appears. “Three wishes, ” he says, “Your wish is my command.” The Frenchman quickly responds, “Just as our ship was sinking, I was thinking of my beautiful baby in Paris. Please return me to my girl.” “No problem,” the genie says, and snapping his fingers, sends the Frenchman instantly back to Paris. The American, seeing this, says, “Listen, just as the ship went down, I was cut off and I was about to close a deal on Wall Street that would have made me millions, Please, send me to New York.” “No problem,” the genie says, and snapping his fingers, sends the American to New York. “And you?”, the genie asks the Russian. “Damn, I dunno,” the Russian replied.”We were having such a good time until you came along. I just want my friends back.”

“Only a Russian, when drunk, will spend two hours telling a foreigner that we are a nation of fools… but then will punch him in the face when he finally agrees.”
