I was driving a friend from Texas, Eric, once. I showed him some of the sights around Moscow. it was lunchtime, and i said, " we're going to go to an american restaurant now." It's like he's surprised. "McDonald's," I added. He laughed in a way that made me realize that putting the words "restaurant" and "McDonald's" side by side was some kind of joke....
Mc Donald's announced the largest McD's will open in Moscow, Russia.
The restaurant will be hiring 600 employees.

Went to Mc Donalds Moscow. A guy came in that looked like he just stepped off the train from a Gulag--leathery weathered face, snuggled teeth, bit coat and boots--he could have been a character actor for movies. Two guys in Men In Black suits moved to block his way every time he tried to take a step forward. He finally got the message and went out snarling. The funniest thing about Moscow was how they took care of "situations" like a pickpocket aboard the subway. Another man got off same time as the pickpocket. At the next stop my friend dashed to a nearby policeman to make a complaint. He was told, "We know, he is coming to apologize, wait here please. A man was dragged off the next subway train with his nose bleeding. He apologized and handed back the wallet. The other man who stepped off was a policeman. Earlier, in Siberia, I had asked if they ever had a problem with pedophiles--my hosts were shocked and said "never--the police take them away!"Retro Johnny Carson:

However, due to the meat (beef) shortages in Russia, McDonald's will be starting a new business, a local cattle farm, to insure a steady supply of beef.
This new business will be called Eastern India Export and Imports Organization.
Now McDonald's has a farm (and) E I E I O.
20 years later......largest McDonald's is in China and the Tong have insisted that McDonald's serve Toe Fu and finger sandwiches.
Observe, you're killing me man, and with so many in a row!
