Have you ever seen people who have no sense of humor? I have always had an unhealthy interest in them, moreover, I collected. One of the most outstanding “examples” of my collection was
Sarah, the administrator of our Doll Theatre. A cute, kind, glamorous woman, but the joke did not understand decisively. We all played it, of course, and I was more than others. She, indeed, was not offended, but only promised, "Winter, you will get it on the side!" and came out.

Once the Doll Theatre toured in a small Russian town. The resettlement of artists. I quickly settled in my room, missed myself and went to the lobby in search of adventure. I go down the stairs and see our gorgeous Sarah standing, swinging her head into the administrator’s window, and having an intense conversation. I understand that the issues are discussed of the importance of the extraordinary: whom of the actors to transfer from the shadow side to the sun and vice versa; whom to move from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom, and who "by the staff" rely on separate chords... The view from behind is just luxurious. The idea has not yet matured, but the momentum has already appeared – and I’m going down the stairs. And when I reach the goal (Sara), the idea materializes. I catch our administrator for the most outstanding place, I get him all and at the same time even shake... Class?

Sarah turns in anger and... it turns out not to be Sarah! Could I have imagined that there is another woman in the world with shapes of such a scale? I find the perfect way out of the situation I am in is to die on the spot. And indeed, something like this begins to happen to me: the heart dies, the blood ceases to flow through the veins; I am covered from head to foot with a sticky cold dust... Here a good stranger begins to revive me. She grabs me by the shovel, not allowing me to crumble on the floor; she beats me on the cheeks with a boat and says, "Well, it is, don't die. Well, puppy, live, I ask you! Whoever doesn’t do that is wrong!”

I survived... It turned out that she was a doctor of chemical sciences, a professor; a great smart woman. We were friends with her all the two weeks that my damned passion for joking brought us to this hotel.
