Ask - answer

Ah, how beautiful life is! And how quickly it flows, and what fresh waters it brings ...

A call from the Rossiya newspaper. Dear girl's voice:

- We have a question for you, in the section "Question of the day."

I was immediately delighted - from this section they already called me a couple of years ago: they asked about my daily alcohol. The issue of a massacre in Nazran was not more important at the “Rossiy newspaper”.

“I am listening to your question,” I say in some anticipation.

“Have you ever been fired?”

- Me? Write down, - I say, literally, with punctuation marks.

- I am writing down!

“I was not fired, Tira, they simply eliminated the media in which I worked.”

“Oh,” the girl says. - And what were these media called?

Young, sweet creation of nature ...

“Write down,” I say. -TV-6, TVS.

- And in what year it was? - asks this a child.

“Girl,” I say, “well, you are a journalist: Look on the Internet, find out ...

“But this, I hope, under Yeltsin?” - this angel asks.

“Do not hope,” I say. - This is under Putin.

“Oh,” says this heavenly creation.

There were no more questions, and we parted.
