This (and the crazy real situation) reminds me of Austin Powers adamantly denying ownership of his penis pump - followed by presentation of a litany of evidence indicating he was indeed the owner. ---

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > I was the waiter. When things got slow they asked me to tell funny stories. But there was no translator so half the room was dead silent. That was the english speaking half of the room though. The part where you used stuffed Don’s hair piece into a vodka bottle and used it as an improvised torch for a rousing rendition of “Отава Ё – Сумецкая” really should have had a better reaction though. ---

I was just there to translate. The only problem is, I only know one Russian word, “no” (nyet), and nobody ever used that word. So I didn’t have much to do. ---

I wasn’t suggesting… Yes, I am familiar with it. Like most people. :rolleyes: In case you didn’t pick up on it, I riffed off your choice of a phallic object from the \*Clue \*weapon collection. You could have said “Paul Manafort with poison in the library,” (or dining room, kitchen, hall, conservatory) in which case I might have made reference to an umbrella. ---

I was there disguised as a cocktail waitress. Don Sr. was there and he got a bit of surprise when he tried to grab me by the pussy. The Russian lawyer was most interested in locating moose and squirrel. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/raise-your-hand-if-you-were-at-don-jrs-meeting-at-trump-tower/791617.md?page=1)
