A Russian couple were walking down the street in Moscow one
night 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 just about to begin arguing with each other about whether it
was raining or snowing when they saw a 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 replied, and walked on.
But the woman insisted, "I know that felt like snow!"
To which her husband quietly replied: "Rudolph the Red knows rain,
dear."
