An African leader makes an official trip to Russia. At the end of the trip, the Russian leader tells the African that in Russia they have a custom performed at farewells called “Russian Roulette" to demonstrate one’s courage. The Russian whips out a revolver, loads one chamber, gives the cylinder spin, puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger . . . . CLICK. . . . .empty chamber. He hands the revolver to his African guest, and says, “Your turn.” Not to be outdone, the African repeats the ritual . . . .CLICK . . . empty. The next year, the Russian visits the African country. At the end of the trip, the African tells his Russian peer that he was very impressed with “Russian Roulette” and that he has spent the last year devising an African ritual to demonstrate one’s courage. The African then disappears through a door only to reappear a few minutes later smiling, and says, “Your turn.” The African escorts the Russian through the door. In the room are six of the most beautiful, naked women he has ever seen. The African explains that he is to choose one of the women, who will perform oral sex on him. Absolutely dumbfounded, the Russian asks, “What kind of test of courage is this?!” The African calmly answers. “One of them is a cannibal.”

CLICHES FOR ALL OCCASIONS, Waiting for something to happen: Zero is sometimes better than nothing One day I will wake up, and it will all fit together This is a process of eliminating options When you feel like a loser Winners need losers I am playing my own game I am not one of those Never forget that you are unique, just like everybody else When you are feeling ugly Beauty is only a lightswitch away I'm not ugly, I'm visually challenging I don't give a **! You're the one who has to look at me!! When you are in pain Better feeling pain than feeling nothing at all Pain is no protection against more pain It'll feel better when it stops hurting When something terrible happens Sometimes you get the bear....and sometimes the bear gets you Worse things happen at sea When the pony dies, the ride is over For when you are dead** Well, at least I tried I guess that was it Death is just a part of life... the last part
