Two gas company employees, a senior training instructor and a young trainee examined the meters in the cottage village.
They parked their truck at the end of the street and went on foot, entering every house to check the meters.
After checking the counter in the last house, they went out.
The owner of the house, a woman of fifty years of age, accompanied them by the gaze from the window of her kitchen.
The senior instructor offered his junior employee to run back to the truck to prove that the forty-year-old man could outrun the young man.
When they had run almost halfway, they realized that the woman from the last house was running right behind them.
They immediately stopped and asked her what had happened.
“When I saw two gas drivers rushing away from my house,” the woman replied, “I decided it was better for me to run away too!”

A girl sits in an unmanned taxi and wonder:
What an unusual car without a driver!
The car responded:
“You know, I’m an artificial intelligence for business, and a taxi is a job.

I work for one operator. Not so long ago, just half a year. And as soon as I got arranged, I was told about several subscribers who became a local legend. I recently had the privilege of communicating with one of them.

I will call him Vitaly. He called the CC several times a day, but no one wanted to communicate with him. The fact is that Vitaly has a speech defect and Turret syndrome (neurological wound, a person involuntarily matures). According to the rules, if the subscriber matures, the specialist asks not to use non-normative vocabulary 2 times, the third time recommends to calm down and call again.

The first time I communicated with him 3 months ago, when I was still a trainee, he immediately warned me that his mat flew involuntarily, apologized in advance. He was unable to name his ancestry, but named the code word correctly (the operator can provide all the information about the number if you call the true FIO, or the code word). The first consultation lasted about 15 minutes, many of the words he said I simply couldn’t understand and constantly asked. He thanked me for a long time and we said goodbye.

The other specialists looked at me with astonishment, asked why I communicated with him, he mates, can't call FIO. When I told them that he had a code word at all, everyone was very surprised.

The next day I was called to the quality service department. Asked about this subscriber, and said that he left me thank you and asked at the next call to connect him immediately with me.

Now Vitaly began to call less often, approximately once a week. The guide wrote us detailed instructions about subscribers similar to Vitaly. The "one consultation - 3 minutes" rule no longer applies to such subscribers.

If he calls, he immediately asks me to translate, if I am busy, he waits. As Vitaly explains this, "you are the only one who started communicating with me, and now I want to communicate only with you."

It is strange that the government has previously been involved in such cases. Strange that the other guys who work could not get into a position and just listen to the person. No one is insured from such cases, and anything can happen, treat it with understanding.

Don’t count money in other people’s pockets. Start with a hole in your own.

Metropolitan of Belgorod and Starooskolsk John on the evening of the anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War said that the war was won by the baptized people, and the dead unbaptized soldiers of the Red Army, who "were born already in the godless time", became sacrifices brought for the godless.
This is not the first, and not the last, darkness. It is logical to continue the associative series: the mass extermination of Jews by the Nazis, since they are also unchristed. Only here the overall picture does not fit the burned villages, often to the ground. Despite the negative attitude toward religion in the USSR, in the villages, almost all were believers. Interestingly, could John, looking into the eyes of the Belarusians, call Khatyn the ruined fort of the wicked? So Metropolitan Belgorod is either an idiot or a traitor of his spiritual office, pouring water on the mill of atheists.

The country is ruled by a strong hand. It’s bad when you hit it in your pocket every day.
