This joke is probably on of the best which I ever read on relcom.humor (Russian newsgroup). Unfortunately i do not remember the name of the original poster. I took some freedom in translating it into English in order to make it more understandable to English-speaking auditory.


A line of Russian soldiers stands in front of a huge rectangular hole in the ground.

Sergant commands: ``Private Ivanov!''

``Yes, sir.''

``Stand like this:''

                          O
                         _|______
                        | |
                        | |
                        | |
                         | |
                         | |
                         | |
                         | |
``Jump!!''

The soldier jumps into the hole.

The sergant commands again: ``Private Pyetrov!!''

``Yes, sir!''

``Stand like this:''

                       |  
                       |  O
                       \ -|-|
                          | |
                          | |
                          \-\
                           | |
                           | |
                           | |
`` Yes, sir!''

`` Jump!''

The soldier jumps and falls into the hole.

The sergant commands again: `` Private Sidorov!!''

`` Yes, sir!''

`` Stand like this:''

                             O
                           |-|-|
                           | | |
                           | | |
                           | | |
                            | |
                            | |
                            | |
                            | |
`` Yes, sir!''

At this point a car with a colonel arrives to that place. Colonel, very angry, comes up to the sergant and tells him: ``Comrad sergant, how many times do I have to tell you: STOP PLAYING TETRIS WITH THE SOLDIERS!!!!!!!!!''
