A Russian and a German died and went to hell The Devil greets them and tells them ""You know guys, hell is kind of full right now, so I tell you what: I'll give each of you a dog and three crates of sausage and when I come back a month from now, the one who teaches the dog a better trick can go to purgatory"". A month has passed and the Devil goes to check up on the German. He sees that the dog is quite plump and the man has lost a lot of weight. ""Ok show me your trick"" he says. The German holds a sausage up in the air, snaps his skinny fingers and the dog starts to dance on its rear paws. ""Nice"" says the Devil ""but I'll see what the Russian has prepared for me"". He enters the Russian's hut and he sees a fat guy sitting on a crate and an extremely skinny dog lying in the corner with all its bones visible. ""Huh, well, show me your trick"" The Russian grabs a sausage and starts to eat it and the dog goes ""Come on Ivan, give me some, come on, just a little bit"".
