Give the dude a break, fellows, he does the best he can. Obviously he thinks in 
Russian, then reaches for his favorite Muller *Russian-English* dictionary and 
translates the post literally word for word into English. Many a case with people, 
who never had a benefit of formal education in (a) foreign language(s). I translated 
his post back into Russian - it is calligrafically literate. Any phrase, which is 
translated word for word into another language, is doomed to sound funny.

*A naked conductor runs under the carriage* anyone?

Here's a joke from my university years:

Two Londoners meet in Hyde Park.
-*Which watch?* inquires one about the current time.
-*Six watch* replies another, glancing at his wrist.
-*Such much?* sighs the first in disbelief, evidently running late.
-*Whom how...*
-*Oh, I see you also studied English at the University of Moscow*
