A sociological historical:
by Зав. The humor department of the Literary newspaper in the early 1980s in the broadcast “Around Laughter” (there was still Ivanov alive) read the best pearls of the department for the year. Among them is the miniature "Silent Rush":
Family quarrels cause a lot of inconvenience to neighbors, irritate children. From now on, this will be over. In the sale appeared sets of cards "Silent Rubbish". Now the spouses will be able to sit at the table, and silently present each other cards of their choice. The whole dispute looks like a game of a fool.

I have after this story (I am 43, I even loved this show as a child, I was funny. But sometimes I didn’t understand why my parents didn’t laugh with me) there were 3 sensations, growing up:
1) naive Chukotka boys;
2) the wise men;
The galaxy is in danger.
