Here's a funny one!

President Putin was on a webcast for the BBC today when people could ask him all sorts of questions. Seeing as he's nearly always stony-faced, I'd liked to have asked him "Do you know any good jokes?"

Possibly we might have all fallen about laughing. I tried the "my dog has no nose! How does he smell? Terrible!!" joke to a small Dutch audience and, in translation, it got a fair to middling cackle!

Putin could have said "Моя собака не имеет никакого носа! Как он пахнет? Ужасный!" I, for one, would have greatly appreciated it!
