Did we really just make an "In Soviet Russia" joke? That was appropriate? Man, I love this place.

Alright, I had to look this up. Here's some info on these types of jokes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Smirnoff - referred to as a Russian Reversal

Ok, learned something completely wasn't aware of before.

But, no, no intent to make that kind of joke.

Not getting you. And no not my intent. What he said was funny and I found it funny. Nothing to do with Russia at all.
