    “De-Stalinization” was a legitimate process in the 1950s! So, the owner of the restaurant must be Krushchev!!

    The bigger question is how she was able to identity the taste in the first place

    City water quality, altho within acceptable limits, can depend on where you are in the system. Well water would have to be verified. Taste is too large a subject for here.

    My neighborhood is outside the city limits.

    Until two years ago, when we were allowed to connect to city water, we all shared a well and a small water treatment system.

    The water tasted of chlorine, smelled a bit like sewer gas,

    and was so hard it left white scaly deposits in tea kettles, coffee makers and pots…

    …. while sometimes leaving black, silty deposits in toilet tanks and bathtubs, as well.

    It ruined Brita filters so fast I gave up and drank bottled water.

     

    But in spite of all that, in over 25 years I don’t believe I ever tasted a Russian dictator….

    It never gave me the Trotskys, and it never smelled like Lenin-ade.

    I have no idea what Stalin tastes like….

    and I don’t really want to know what that blonde young lady had to do to find out.

     

    Some jokes are stretched….. some are long and winding….

    this strip definitely took the scenic route.

    Communist jokes are not funny unless EVERYBODY gets them!

    Not to be too nitpicky here, but he was an ethnic Georgian and a Soviet leader.

    Quit Stalin around with all the excuses already, they’re Russian to find out what happened.

    Everybody needs to see the movie “The Death of Stalin”. A comic/realistic/tragic take on all of this. Except the water part.

    America already has had a taste of Russian influence in our wimpy resident in the WH! I want to spit-tewy him out of office!
