Patriotism!


Patriotism!



I was told a lovely story about a farmer in Finland.

When they were drawing up the Russian-Finnish border, the farmer had to decide whether he wanted to be in Russia or Finland.

After a long time he said he wanted to be in Finland, but he didn't want to offend the Russian officials.

These came to him and wanted to know why he wanted to be in Finland.

The farmer replied,

"It has always been my desire to live in Mother Russia,

but at my age I wouldn't be able to survive another Russian winter."
