Russian Lukoil chief dies in 'fall from hospital window' {2022-09-01}

But what about the tried-and-tested method of shooting people in the face (on Putin’s birthday!)

I tried smoking Toad in the Hole, but the gravy wouldn’t light.

“In Mother Russia, hospital window closes you.”

Yakov Smirnoff says:

  • “Why don’t they have baseball in Russia? In Russia, no one is safe.”

  • “Here you have American Express Card: ‘Don’t Leave Home Without It.’ In Russia, we have Russian Express Card: ‘Don’t Leave Home!’”

As Yakov Smirnoff once said to Johnny Carson, “I enjoy being in America; it’s fun, you know, because you have so many things we never had in Russia – like warning shots”.

That’s not very fast-acting, either.

Gravity very fast.

Why does gravity always get all the credit? Ground does all the work.

That’s deep.

A little hair of the frog?

Tragically that is what happens when you allow packs of feral windows to roam the streets - defenestrations galore. It’s a shame.

So that’s where my window ran off to.
:notes: I can see clearly now, the pane is gone…:notes:

You win the thread.

No, the risk of creating a superhero is too great.

A terminal (velocity) illness obviously.

I wish I could remember where I got this quote:

“The victim tied himself to a chair, stabbed himself repeatedly, and threw himself out a third-floor window…twice. Authorities have ruled his death a suicide.”

There’s an old rule: It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop at the end.

Like, 90% of the stuntman industry is built around that philosophy.

This really demonstrates the lack of freedom in the United States: in so many hospitals, office towers… there are no windows you can open.

Coincidence? Or. . .

Wrong Russian fell out of a window :rage:

It’s hard to survive when you’re hit with an entire planet.
