An old ex-Soviet couple were being shown around Moscow one day on a memorial trip, by their ex-communist guide, Rudolf, when the husband felt a drop hit his nose.
“I think it’s raining,” he said to his wife.
“No, that felt more like snow to me,” she replied.
“No, I’m sure it was just rain,” he said.
Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing.
“Let’s not fight about it!” the man said. “Let’s ask our guide, Comrade Rudolf, whether it’s officially raining or snowing.”
As their tour guide approached, the man said, “Tell us, Comrade Rudolf, is it officially raining or snowing?“
Rudolph sniffs around, looks studiously at the cloud formations - and in the most precise way sticks his tongue out to trap a few bits of precipitation.
“It’s raining, of course,” he replied officiously.
But the woman insisted, “I know that it felt like snow!”
The man quietly replied, “Rudolph, the Red, knows rain, dear!“
