An American calls his Russian friend, “Ilya, I just saw on TV that you have this horrible cold wave, are you OK?”
Ilya replies, “Yeah, sure, we’re fine, it’s not that cold…”
American:
“But they said you have like -40 F over there!”
Ilya:
“Nah, it’s more like 5, that’s normal for a winter.”
American:
“Are you sure? They were showing totally frozen trees, roads covered in ice…”
Ilya:
“Ah I get it! You mean outside!!”
