Babakin: I was lying for two days with terrible headaches, a temperature below 40, the muscles are weeping, the head is weeping - everyone came, the ass.

I call an ambulance, I am taken away, in the abode of evil. Take a lot of tests, faces in masks.

The doctor goes in: thank God, you just have meningitis. They feared it was a coronavirus.

I’m happy with Kim’s son.



Free.flier: The type of glue from meningitis is not as shameful as from the coronavirus?





Innalya: If he dies from meningitis, the coronavirus statistics will not be ruined



Babakin: I’m still alive

I traveled by train in Russia in the mid-1990s. The neighbor offers a drink, somehow he so well served everything: a bottle of good vodka, snack, snack.

I answer: I am a rather unprincipled person, but I have three rules. I don’t drink until noon, I don’t drink with strangers, I don’t drink in moving transport.

The man lost all interest in me, just looked out the window and did nothing.

It was twenty or thirty minutes. The crew crashed into the perron of a large station and stopped. The man immediately revived, looked at the clock (there was something like 12: 07) and extended my hand:

and Nicholas! ...”

Yes I remembered. Probably 1991 or 1992. That is the beginning :)

I remember all the time broadcasting deputies on television, my father read "New World" and so on. There are discussions in the newspapers. Well, I was still in school.

And then the father cries and reads an article in a magazine. Example of a package vote.



There are three people: “A”, “B” and “B”. Not acquainted with each other. They are invited to vote for the following:

"A" is put in jail, "B" is raised twice, and "B" is transferred to a new promising position.

“A” votes against, “B” and “B” vote for.

“A” is in prison.

The next vote:

"A" is transferred to the best chamber, "B" is sent to jail, and "B" is raised twice the salary.

“A” and “B” vote for, “B” vote against.

“A” and “B” are in prison.

The last issue of the vote:

"A" to improve nutrition, "B" to transfer to the best chamber, "B" to put in jail.

“A” and “B” vote for, “B” vote against, but in the end:

All three volunteerly and democratically put themselves in jail :)



Then I just remembered this example as a joke, yes... Later, I realized that “package” voting is an extremely dangerous thing. And that, however, each proposal should be considered separately, and not a "package" to be pulled all the way.



Z is. I’m not suggesting anything, I just remembered.

When I was 5, I remember asking my parents for a dog. Or a cat. In general, something lively and furry that you can have fun playing with. The parents refused and then asked, “Do you want a monkey?”



This is not a dog, and I knew little about monkeys, but the offer still thrilled me.



I: The real one?

R : Of course!

I: And she will live at our house without a cage and can play with her?

R is yes!



Then came my brother.

The president noted that in no place in the world a manager earns less than his employees.

He probably does not know that there is no concept of revenue anywhere in the world, but there is a profit.

I approach the passageway, people are tired there: someone is passed, someone is waiting for documents, etc.
I sweep my hand into the pocket where the radio frequency label for the turniquet should be placed, and I just touch a pack of new crispy thousand notes. Before that, he took it off in the ATM, put it down and rolled it into his pocket. It is clear that the flat pass just found somewhere inside the package between the notes. Looking for and removing lazy. Even if in the center of the package - there is a thickness of only 1 cm, for the radio frequency label should be enough, and if it is shifted in any direction and you do not guess from the first time, I will attach the other side. These thoughts passed in a second. I approach the turniket, on the move I take out the folded package, without stopping, I attach one side of the package and the other, the turniket is open, I pass. I hear behind my back:
And what? Was it possible?
Look what the money makers do!

Who would have thought that in the 21st century the world will again turn into the Middle Ages: America is closed to Europeans, the plague browses in Europe itself, and in Russia-motherly disputes between the Kiev and Moscow princeships, the opričnina and the boyars celebrating the tsar-batyushka...
