Just before a russian soldier made his first parachute jump into Donbas, his comrad-general reminded him: “Count to ten and pull the first rip cord. If it snarls, pull the second rip cord for the auxiliary chute. After you land, our truck will pick you up.” The paratrooper took a deep breath and jumped. He counted to ten and pulled the first cord. Nothing happened. He pulled the second cord. Again, nothing happened. As he careened crazily earthward, he said to himself, “Damn. Nothing's going right. Now I'll bet that damn truck won't be there either!” 🤣

Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Top?" Mobiki: "Well sir, it tells me that somebody stole our tent"
