Too Witty To Let It Go

I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but boy did I rattle off some quality humor yesterday evening. Only my wife and baby were there to hear it, so I figured I'd share it with the blog, running the risk of telling a "you-had-to-be-there" moment.

So we were sitting down in a local Russian restaurant awaiting the fulfillment of our take-out order. Above us is a television showing the Russian version of MTV, complete with sound. We've gotten that stage in our marriage where constant conversation isn't required, so we sat back and enjoyed the fine Russian pop music. I was occasionally interjecting my own "translations" for the action in the videos.

At one point we see a music video set in an 18th Century royal court or some such. The musician seemed to remind me of someone. I turned to my wife and said, "That's the artist formerly known as the Czar."

Well, I thought it was witty anyhow.
