Eclipsing Russian

I didn't sleep a lot yesterday because I was waiting up for the total lunar eclipse last night, and that was pretty exciting.

While trying to sleep but not really I had this odd little dream...


[Smoky bar scene]

There I was, looking at the man, and wondering what the heck he was saying. Hard to discern from this angle. He seemed gruff, and maybe approachable, if you were in the right mood, which I wasn't.

Still, I just had to know one thing.

"Excuse me." I'm tellin' ya. I had to know. "Are you speaking Russian?"

"No!" came the rough reply.

"Well, what language is that, then?" I waited, impatient, and the answer flew back without a trace of mirth.

"Vodka!"
