Beware, you Russians!

There was a program on ABC this morning about poisons used for assassinations. The presenter says, “Poison for assassination is an unfamiliar tool in the West. But in Russia, people have been poisoning each other since the Middle Ages.”

I thought that sounded really funny. Like a scene from ‘Spy vs Spy’ in MAD magazine, with shifty eyed blond Russian spies sneakily dropping poison into each others’ cups, constantly keeling over and up again on their feet with a snigger, putting yet another poison in yet another meal.
