Enjoy:"As I was walking down the hallway toward my office I heard the excited voices of the Russian twins. I stopped as I passed their office. 'Hey guys, what's up?' I asked, just to be sociable. They took my interest literally. 'We were chase-ed,' said Volodya excitedly.'What!'I stopped.'But we successfully performed evasive maneuvers without hurting our bodies or our automobile,' said Kolodya. I wasn't sure whether to take them seriously or not. 'Great,' I said, 'What kind of car you got?''A Catholic,' said Volodya. I looked at Kolodya, he looked at Volodya and said, 'A Cadillac.''Big difference,' I said, 'Cadillacs are much more comfortable. So what happened?' And they told me their story."
