While most of the other definitions on this topic are technically correct, none of them attribute the joke to its originator, Yakov Smirnoff, an actor and standup comedian who is pretty recent and also still alive.
I can't believe the contributors to this
definition were so stupid that they think a joke by a comedian who was incredibly
famous during the late 80s and is still very
famous is actually a joke that just "comes from the internet"!
In
soviet russia, contributors to internet sites
probably know what they'
re talking about, because they don't here.
