A guy keeps going to the newsagent: he scans the headlines and then leaves.
The newsagent sees him do this a few days in a row and finds it to be strange behavior, so one day he asks him:
“Comrade, what are you doing? Can I help you?”
“Thank you, comrade, but I’m only interested in the obituaries.”
“But comrade, the obituaries are at the back!”
“Not the ones I am looking for.”
Meanwhile, Jake Tapper has been asleep at the switch, if you know what I mean.

A Soviet joke:
Military conscription. The officer asks a young recruit: “So what’s your specialty?”. (The recruit replies “geopolitical forecasting”!)
The recruit replies: “Languages. I speak 5 languages” (The word languages literally means “a tongue”)
From a fellow forecaster back in the day. His father was a Soviet General

The officer goes: “Perfect! You will be putting stamps on envelopes!”
This is a baited field
A Russian and an American men die. The devil asks them if they want to go to the capitalist hell or to the communist hell. They ask what's the difference. The devil says that one has to eat one bucket of shit every morning it the capitalist hell and two buckets in the communist hell. The American chose the capitalist hell, but the Russian felt oddly partiotic and chose the communist. After a while, they meet again.
- So, how's the capitalist hell?
- Great, I eat a bucket of shit every morning and then I can do whatever I want. How is the communist hell?
- As per usual: half of the times they've ran out of shit and at other times there isn't enough buckets for everyone.
Two judges meet in a court and one is laughing hysterically.
The other: what's so funny?
The first one: i've just heard the most ridiculous anecdote of my life.
The other: Care to share?
The first: Can't, just gave a guy 15 years for it.
The obituary joke is pretty common. FDR was noted for telling that joke during the Great Depression as self-deprecation.
We probably won't know if Krasnov's popped his clogs until Swan Lake starts to play on every channel.
