RANDOM THOUGHTS: APPLICATIONS FOR RUSSIAN VISAS

Applications for Russian visas are a more than a little detailed. Besides asking for parents’ full names, names of employers and colleges and addresses, it asks for very personal information.  “Did you put your left foot it and take your left foot out?” “Who was that lady I saw you with last night?” and “When did you stop beating your wife?” It also asked if I had training in nuclear matters or biological or chemical substances.
I said, "It could be, but I forgot most of what I learned in high school science." A friend asked if they wanted my mother's maiden name and Social Security number. I said that I didn't know, I hadn't gotten that far. I was going to have many more jokes about this until I came to the question “Have you ever made fun of our visa application form?” But they were very interested in my opinion and asked, "Is there anything we can do to make this form more difficult to complete?" … After the United States and its allies declared a no-fly zone over Libya, labor unions declared a no-fly zone over Wisconsin. … My wife has started yellow belt training for Six Sigma, the system for continuous improvement.
