I have a pun on this topic too:
In Russia, many people also protested the Chinese Olympic torch. In St
Petersburg, the torch route was lined with thousands of protesters.
Some were from the Buddhist regions of Kalmykia and Buryatia, who
carried big chess boards with "Free Tibet!" on them. But most were
street girls from Ukraine, carrying signs: "Almost Free Minet!" in
English and "Tibet - eto minet tebe ot mene!" in Cyrillic. When a
journalist asked them if they were ashamed, they said: "Yes,
enormously. The NATO rejection was a slap in our faces. When we heard
the news on the car radio, we gagged".

He was first. The other 10 people were shot by him: "popal v desiatku
silnej****x". A pun on the word "popal", which can mean "made it to"
and also "shot".
- i always thought it was "strelyal". regardless, it's above my meager
level
of russian grammar.
