Remember this story?
Vladimir Putin supposedly shooting a female Siberian tiger with a tranquilizer gun during a visit to a wildlife preserve, saving a TV crew that just happened to be nearby, and then helping measure its teeth and outfitting it with a radio collar?
This just in from Vladivostok daily (February 11):

After encounter with Vladimir Putin, female tiger gives birth to three cubs

Now THAT was malicious!
Good old jokes never die.
…а что, папа сам не может? – Может, но бык лучше…
LOL!
For the benefit of the non-Russian-speaking, logophilka is referring to an old Russian joke:
Teacher in rural school to boy: “Why weren’t you in class yesterday?”
Boy: “Sorry, Daddy told me to take the bull to the neighbor to service the cow.”
Teacher (slightly taken aback): “But … couldn’t your daddy have done that himself?”
Boy: “Sure he could have. But the bull’s better.”
The journalist has answered me in person! Flattered:)
Great blog, and, most importantly, great joke translation skills. I’ve just advertised for you on logophilka.livejournal.com. Удач!
Thank you!
