RUDOLPH THE RED
On a tour of Russia during the days of communism, Mr. and Mrs. Jones spent a very pleasant time with their guide Rudolph. However, on the last day of the tour a little precipitation began to fall. Mr. Jones said disgustingly, “I knew it would begin snowing before we reached the hotel!” “Pardon me,” said the guide, “but that’s not snow; it’s rain.” Mr. Jones shook his head, “Sorry, friend, but you’re wrong.

Rudolph, the Red, knows rain dear! Adapted from Clergy Talk, December, 1991
