[SOC] Ethnic humor in Dagestan

[fipo]

Ethnic humor in Dagestan as reported in New York Times 2/17/2010.

An Avar is carrying a wounded Dargin off the battlefield.
The Dargin entreats his friend to leave him behind, lest they
both be killed, and asks the one favor of shooting him so he does not 
suffer.
The Avar, finally convinced, pulls out his firearm but finds he has no 
ammunition.
The Dargin roots in his pockets and pulls out a bullet.
"I'll sell it to you" he says.

An Avar is driving through Makhachkala with a Lakh in the passanger seat.
Spotting a red light, he pumps the accelerator and speeds through it.
"You just ran a red light !" the Lakh says.
"Avars don't stop for red lights," the Avar explains, and speeds through 
another.
In a few minutes, they come to a green light, and the Avar stops.
"Why did you stop ?" the Lakh asks.
"You can't be too careful," his friend says, "an Avar might be coming 
the other way."
