Ekaterinburg is Your Best Bet!
A political joke Drabble
Putin died and was buried in St.Petersburg, his native city. A Russian political dissident who'd been driven out of the country for fear of persecution comes to a travel agent and says, "Please help me find a ticket to St.Petersburg, Russia. I tried to book it myself but everything seems to have been sold out for a year."
"What's your emergency?" the travel agent asked.
"I want to go to Putin's grave and spit on it."
"Oh, I see. Here's your ticket to Ekaterinburg."
"What??? That's beyond the Urals, I need to get to St.Petersburg!"
"That's where the queue starts."
100 words exactly makes it a Drabble.
Author's Note: Today, October 7, is Putin's birthday. I can't wait for him to finish his life's journey.
