Rain or Snow??
 
A Russian couple was 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.
 
Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument 
about whether it was raining or snowing.  Just then, they saw a minor 
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!"
 
The man quietly replied: "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"
