Too Broke To Laugh

Russian soccer fans have been told to drink whiskey on their trip to Wales for next month’s World Cup qualifier to ward off the H1N1 swine flu virus, the head of the country’s supporter association (VOB) said Monday.

“We urge our fans to drink a lot of Welsh whiskey as a form of disinfection,” VOB head Alexander Shprygin told Reuters.

“That should cure all symptoms of the disease.”

Russia’s Health Ministry has issued a public warning against traveling to Britain because of the spread of the H1N1 virus but Shprygin said he expected at least several hundred fans would go to Wales for the September 9 qualifier in Cardiff.

“Health officials say this virus is very dangerous but being a fan myself I can tell you that for a real fan nothing is more important than the well-being of the team,” said Shprygin, who also sits on the executive board of the Russian FA.

“Russian fans don’t fear anything or anybody so this virus will not stand in our way of supporting our team.”

The Russian FA also said health issues should not prevent fans from traveling.

Listen if it’s one thing Russian’s know it’s liquor and I am taking this medical advice as serious as a heart attack. In two weeks I’m going to a Beer, Bourbon and BBQ festival at which time I plan to consume enough whiskey to keep me pickled until next year.

I am fairly certain after drinking so much whiskey the authorities will arrest me under the auspices of me being ‘disorderly’, but secretly I will be moved to a secure location, with a harem of women, in case the swine flu kills all living creatures and we need to repopulate the earth.
