A Russian couple was walking down the street in Moscow one night, when
the man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining," he said to
his wife.
"No, that felt more like snow to me," she replied.
"No, I'm sure it was just rain," he said.
Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument
about whether it was raining or snowing. Just then they saw a minor
communist party official walking toward them. "Let's not fight about
it," the man said, "Let's ask Comrade Rudolph whether it's officially
raining or snowing."
As the official approached, the man asked, "Tell us, Comrade Rudolph,
is it officially raining or snowing?"
"It's raining, of course," he answered, and walked on.
But the woman insisted, "I know that felt like snow!"
To which the man replied, "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."
