They say that English is the richest language on this planet, counting about (or beyond) a million words. In this specific case the overabundance stood in the way of what became a joke in Russia recently. Here is the headline faithfully translated from Russian:
Patriarch presented eggs to Putin and Medvedev
And here is the story:
Patriarch Kirill presented to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister’s wife Easter eggs made by church jewelers. They met at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
All in all, not a joking matter. So where is the joke, you would ask?
Simply that in Russian, probably due to it being a more compact language, the word for “eggs” – “яйца” has a second meaning, that of “testicles” or, simply speaking, “balls”.
So simple. But go and make a joke out of it now…
